David Stevenson was born in Detroit and worked briefly in the Dearborn Stamping Plant, at the time the largest factory in the world. His fiction collection, Letters from Chamonix, won the Banff Mountain Book Award for Fiction and Poetry in 2014. His collected mountaineering essays, Warnings Against Myself: Meditations on a Life in Climbing was published in 2016 by the University of Washington Press. He received the H. Adams Carter Literary Award from the American Alpine Club in 2017. Two of his recent essays have been marked as Notable in the The Best American Essays Series. He works at the University of Alaska Anchorage where he directs the MFA program in creative writing. Praise for Forty Crows: Forty Crows is a remarkable journey of one man's search for meaning after his father dies, his brother disappears, and he enters into Mexico to study the paintings of Diego Rivera. Behind a shimmering, permeable curtain, strangeness and illumination is to be found--from underground boxing, art that comes to life, and the steely bonds of love, even with the departed. Stevenson's body of work is varied, intriguing, brave and compelling. Jo-Ann Mapson, Los Angeles Times bestselling author of Solomon's Oak, Bad Girl Creek and Blue Rodeo.
