Lisa Kahn (poet)
- ... that Lisa Kahn was described as a prototypical example of a German-American author? Source: Glenn, Jerry (1994). "What is German-American Literature?". Monatshefte. 86 (3): 350–353 JSTOR: "The differences between Norbert Krapf, Thomas Mann, and Lisa Kahn (to cite perhaps the prototypical example of an important author who is universally recognized as "German-American") must not be ignored"
- ALT1:... that former The Kinkaid School German and psychology teacher Lisa Kahn had a PhD in psychology and later became professor of German at Texas Southern University? Source: work at Kinkaid school, see tertiary source AKF (in German, offline) or primary source Kinkaidian Yearbook. PhD in psychology. Professor of German.
- ALT2:... that German-American poet Lisa Kahn taught German and Psychology at The Kinkaid School before becoming a professor at Texas Southern University?
- Reviewed: Virgil Conn
- Comment: Her time at The Kinkaid School overlapped with that of Jeb Bush, but there is no evidence they interacted, so I think I can't namedrop any of the famous Kinkaid School alumni here (George W. Bush left before she came). But better hook suggestions are welcome.

- ALT3:... that the American prize for writing poetry in German was named for the poet and writer Lisa Kahn's first husband until she died?
- Thanks Victuallers for the new hook suggestion. The husband was on DYK last March, on the 50th anniversary of his suicide, and could be linked. I think it should be "first husband" or similar, though, as she remarried. Moving to Lisa Kahn (poet) is fine; I couldn't quite decide between that disambiguator and the middle name. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 19:49, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

The article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. All four hooks are verifiable to the cited references, and are below the 200 character count limit. I don't have a personal preference, and will leave it to the promoting admin to decide what hook they prefer.4meter4 (talk) 20:15, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
