Sherry Simpson, Anchorage
Simpson is the author of The Way Winter Comes, the Chinook Prize winner, and The Accidental Explorer: Wayfinding in Alaska.
Her work is described by Kirkus Reviews as "A profoundly considered, lyrically wrought, refreshingly hands-on survey of the disappearing frontier in America's wildest state." She has been a Bakeless Nonfiction Scholar at Bread Loaf. She has published essays, columns, articles and book reviews in a variety of literary journals, anthologies, magazines, and newspapers. Most recently a series of short essays she wrote appeared in a photographic book on Glacier Bay National Park.
When not exploring her own connection to the land, she accompanies wildlife biologists as they tag bears threatened by massive clear-cut logging in Tongass National Forest, use radio telemetry to track the ubiquitous moose, and cruise alleys behind fast-food restaurants to puzzle over the behavioral eccentricities of ravens.
