Bea Troxel

Bea Troxel is a second year MFA Creative Writing candidate who writes about beavers and wave pools. She studies beavers’ phenophases; interviews and literature about human reactions toward beavers; and ideas about intimacy, resistance to change, queerness, and longing. She’s interested in the ways beavers have the potential to garner vocal advocates who quickly turn on them once the beaver destroys a tree or space important to them. After receiving her undergraduate degree in Environmental Humanities from Sewanee, she toured as a folk musician, taught high school English, and slung cones and cones of soft serve. She has work published in Quarter Notes Magazine and music out via Ruination Records. In Tucson, you can find her studying the San Pedro River or parsing through the Free Table.
