May Swenson’s Intelligent Design: Getting Under The Skin Of God, Evolution, And Man As An Animal

May Swenson’s Intelligent Design: Getting Under The Skin Of God, Evolution, And Man As An Animal Firstborn of immigrant Swedish parents in Logan, Utah, who had come to this country as converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, May Swenson early identified herself in ways that would distinguish her life’s path as separate and distinct from that of her mother and father. But her journey into the ranks of the most heralded American poets of the twentieth century would bring her to explore all the big existential questions and would mirror her parents’ creative boldness in striking out in new directions, geographically, philosophically, and spiritually.
