Alumni Spotlight: Krista Eastman

Krista Eastman

Congratulations to Penn State MFA graduate Krista Eastman (Nonfiction, 2010) for her debut book The Painted Forest which was published last fall by the West Virginia Press and has been received with much acclaim!

In The Painted Forest, Eastman uncovers the complexities and eccentricities of her childhood home in Wisconsin and other meaningful Midwestern locations, through meditative essays which Publishers Weekly call “thoughtful and elegant” that “will live on in the reader’s mind.” It has been named one of the best literary nonfiction debuts of 2019 by Poets & Writers and listed as a favorite book of 2019 by The Progressive.
