[2018 Association for Mormon Letters Finalist for Criticism]
"American authors Terry Tempest Williams, Patricia Gunter Karamesines, and Phyllis Barber share common ground in their writing. They have all written about Western American landscapes. All three were (or are still) members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And they are all women. In this article I will explore the work of these authors by looking at the role played by nature in their writing, seeking to underline the importance of Mormonism here, but as a set of cultural and social values more than as a source of spiritual inspirtation."
