Terry Tempest Williams
Writer and
Conservationist |
She says, "I write through my biases of gender, geography, and
culture. I am a woman whose ideas have been shaped by the Great Basin
and Colorado Plateau, these ideas are then filtered through the prism of
my culture and my culture is Mormon. The tenets of family and community
which I see at the heart of that culture are then articulated through
story." She is best known for her book Refuge: An Unnatural History
of Family and Place , a chronicle of the rise of Great Salt Lake and
the flooding of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in 1983, alongside
her mother's ovarian cancer, caused by radioactive fallout from the
nuclear tests in the Nevada desert in the 1950's and 60's. It is
regarded as a classic in American Nature Writing, a testament to loss
and the earth's healing grace.
