Conference on Mormon literature set

PROVO — The Association for Mormon Letters' 2008 annual meeting and conference will be held March 8 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Ernest L. Wilkinson Student Center at Brigham Young University.

Free to the public, the conference will feature papers and panels on many aspects of Mormon literature. This year's focus is on scriptures as literature and literature as scripture and featured speaker is Harold Rawlings, noted Bible scholar.

In addition to regular conference sessions, there will be a reception that evening at the Eugene and Charlotte England home starting at 6 p.m. during which the AML award winners will read from their own works. The only cost will be $15 for the awards luncheon.
