ABOUT NANCY BUELL

Nancy Atherton Buell was born in Oregon, but spent over half of her life in Alaska with her husband of 50 years and a succession of springer spaniels. She lived in Barrow, Anchorage, Juneau and Kenai, and is now retired to Oregon. Having found her creative voice and the time to use it, she writes every day in her studio.

Nancy has been an educator at every level, from public school to university.
After she retired, she made and sold jewelry, and processed large quantities of fish. Occasionally wrote an educational product. And then, one day, found the bankers box containing all of her youthful poetry and prose. Since then, in her new writing and jewelry studio, she writes, edits, and waits for the next poem to visit.

Key to all of Nancy’s work, and no less in the poetry, is a profound sense of “place,” and how that influences human life. All of her prose vividly describes not only Alaska, but the other places in the nation and in Mexico and Canada to which the characters travel.
