    ABOUT THE WRITERS

    David Stevenson is the author of four books, most recently High Places, Sacrifices, Mysteries in 2021. He has been director of the Low Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing at UAA since its inception in 2008.

    Erica Watson lives and writes outside Denali National Park and earned her MFA in nonfiction from UAA in 2014. Her essays focus on climate change and community, and have appeared in Terrain.org, About Place Journal, Panorama, and elsewhere. She has a forthcoming September residency at Storyknife.

    After growing up in New Jersey, Amy Holonics came to Alaska with a backpack and her art supplies. Finding both love and adventure here she married, raised two daughters, and recently retired from teaching art. She used her paintings to inspire her nonfiction writing for her MFA thesis.

    Andrea Hackbarth earned her MFA in Creative Writing and Literary Arts with an emphasis in Poetry from UAA in 2016. Since then, she has published a handful of poems in a variety of print and online journals, including Cirque, Mezzo Cammin, Gravel, YesPoetry, and more. She lives in Palmer, where she runs her own piano tuning and servicing business and is an editor for the Piano Technicians Journal. 

    Joan Nockels Wilson is a writer and lawyer. Her first book, the memoir entitled The Book of Timothy: The Devil, My Brother, and Me, was released by Red Hen Press. Joan graduated from the first class of the MFA's low-residency program. Joan lives in Anchorage with her husband and daughter. You can read more about Joan and her next book, a tribute to E.B. White, at joannockelswilson.com.

    Benjamin Toche recently quit his job to be a janitor and work on a farm. He writes stories about ancient philosophers in modern predicaments, and canine private detective novellas, among other things. 

    Sandra Kleven graduated from the MFA program in 2011. Now, with Mike Burwell, she publishes the journal Cirque. In 2018, they established Cirque Press, proudly publishing literary writers of Alaska and the Northwest. Kleven is the author of Defiance Street: Poems and Other Writing.
