About Judith Barker Kvinsland

A Puget Sounder by birth, Judith Barker Kvinsland, a retired teacher and college administrator in both Washington and California, happily exchanged professional writing for personal essays and occasional prose poems. She now lives and writes in eastern Washington amidst wide open skies, channeled scablands, and burgeoning wineries. She is an “itinerant grandparent,” a frequent traveler to California, Montana and the Olympic Peninsula, to connect with extended family and friends. Her collection of essays, Disturbing the Calm: A Memoir of Time and Place, was released on March 13, 2020.
