S. Kierstan Barbre, Indiana University East Student

S. Kierstan Barbre was born and raised in the central plains of Oklahoma.  
A graduate of Oklahoma State University, she has served in a variety of administrative and service roles.  A transplant to Richmond, Indiana, she currently works with a non-profit organization advocating for students within the public school system.  In addition to work and devotion to family, she enjoys playing music, cooking, working with stained glass, and refurbishing antiques.  Kierstan has an abiding love and appreciation for native Okla-homa, its people and history.  A fondness for Oklahoma’s characteristically ruddy red soil, with its unique relationship to the state’s history, was the inspiration for this poem.  This is her first published work.
