Kirsten is also the host of Nevada County Library’s monthly “Poetry Happy Hour,” a free, low pressure opportunity to appreciate and write poems (on the third Thursday of
every month at the Communal Cafe.) Her first poetry collection, Ex Vivo: Out of the Living Body, was published by Hip Pocket Press in 2012. Her new manuscript, Grieving Birds, was a recent finalist for the Gunpowder Press Dryden-Vreeland book prize.

Stacey Anderson is a prism of facets and loose threads, all the pieces of which have coalesced and woven into a tender human being who loves storytelling. She loves listening to stories as much as she loves telling them. Raised in the cauldron of the slow-paced island time of the Low country islands on the edge of South Carolina and Georgia, she learned a lot by listening to the old timers tell stories. In 2011 she returned to her birthplace in southern California and has been in California ever since. Determined to find a community that felt like home, she eventually found her way to Nevada County in 2018, home of the glorious Sierra Storytelling Festival. She is a teacher, naturalist, scientist, writer, permaculture enthusiast, homemaker, adventurer, and surfer.
