Contributing Editor KIRSTEN BEACHY teaches “college writing, fiction writing, and journalism as an assistant professor at (Eastern Mennonite University), where I advise the student newspaper and arts journal. My most recent publication, a short story called “The Institute of Transcendence”, came out in 2.1 of Relief: A Quarterly Christian Expression . I’m variously and sporadically at work on a collection of essays about martyrs and chickens, a slow-moving novel about sisters and grandmothers, a speedy novel I think my mom would like, and a YA adventure story in the tradition of Lloyd Alexander. I continue to be distracted by critters and insects. This fall, I added a pair of Muscovy ducks to my menagerie and hope that Stanley and Stella will produce lots of fat little ducklings to butcher this spring. The honeybees are protecting their winter honey and must not be disturbed. Hear me talking politics with my cat here: Kirsten Talks to Her Cat.” Look for Kirsten’s nonfiction essay “Selling the Farm” in the upcoming edition of Shenandoah.
