Autorenporträt

Esther Yoder Stenson grew up in an Amish Mennonite home in Stuarts Draft, Virginia. She lived and taught in El Salvador for nearly three years in the 1970s before earning a B.A. in Education from Sterling College in Kansas in 1985. She completed a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics at Georgetown University in 1988 and taught English in China (5 years). While teaching in China, she met her Minnesota Lutheran husband. Upon returning from China in 1995, she worked in the writing center at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Virginia and received an M. A. in English/Creative Writing (2008). She also taught English Literature and Writing at JMU until 2014. In the spring of 2015, she and her husband spent six months teaching English in Port Said, Egypt. Most recently, she taught in the Intensive English Program at Eastern Mennonite University. Esther's poetry has appeared in Dreamseeker, Tongue Screws and Testimonies (Herald Press, 2010), and she has published one book of poetry titled Miracle Temple (Cascadia Press, 2009).
