| | Terry Tempest Williams ★ Steven Barclay Agency (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Terry Tempest Williams is perhaps best known for her book Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place, in which she chronicles the epic rise of the Great Salt Lake and the flooding of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in 1983, alongside her mother’s diagnosis with ovarian cancer. |
 | | Williams speaks about creating a language that opens hearts rather than closes them; she writes, "the heart is the first home of democracy." As a writer, Williams seeks to see the world whole, with all its paradoxes, humor, and complexity. |
 | | Williams is the recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship in creative nonfiction, as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Lila Wallace-Reader’s Digest Community Grant. |
