--FOREWORD REVIEWS

"When I ask my Mormon-Jewish daughter when she feels most Mormon, she tells me, 'When I am outside, in the canyons, in the mountains, in the West.' The beloved community of writers assembled here articulates a thousand reasons why so many of us feel this way. Danielle Beazer Dubrasky and Karin Anderson are expert guides to this territory. Let them and this book bring you home."

--JOANNA BROOKS, author of The Book of Mormon Girl and coeditor of Mormon Feminisms and Decolonizing Mormonism


"No idea looms larger in the Mormon mind than wilderness--a pure, unspoiled place that gives people refuge and prepares them for revelation. Blossom as the Cliffrose gathers some of Mormonism's most creative voices to testify to the power of wilderness spaces--in the land, in our faith, and in our lives. The essays and poems in this volume come from the heart of the wilderness and are themselves both refuge and revelation."

--MICHAEL AUSTIN, author of Reading the World and Buried Treasures
