Fire in the Pasture
Fire in the Pasture: 21st Century Mormon Poets (Peculiar Pages, 2011), edited by Tyler Chadwick, is "a treasure-house of riches"[1] covering Mormon poets and poetry.
From the AML Award citation:
Fire in the Pasture records the changes, movements, and new and old themes that Mormon poets are and have been struggling with. The collection is highly representative of the various types of Mormon poets, with many up-and-coming poets included. That generosity alone merits the award. But the themes, styles and forms show great variety, and manifold interests. Although the poems in Fire in the Pasture do not uniquely deal with Mormon themes, anyone wanting to become more familiar with contemporary Mormon poets would benefit by reading this diverse collection of poems generated from Mormon cultural and religious expressions of both the sacred and the mundane.[2]
