At Home on Upper Beaver Creek shares the joys of living in the Methow Valley in central Washington State. Christine Kendall and partner Jack Kienast moved onto their twenty-acre property in 2012. This account told in prose and poetry looks through the windows of their house where a bobcat or moose might come to visit. Christine and her dog, Gus, let the reader tag along on walks through the property as it changes through the seasons, from winter and back to fall. Close by, the town of Twisp my not have a stop light, but Christine and Jack find a creative community of poets and artisans whose love of open skies inspires imagination, and days that fill with wonder.

“These poems carry a clear and simple joy, which in our era of worry and distancing transforms into genuine solace.” ~Peter Donahue, author of Madison House and Three Sides Water
