Congratulations to Kevin Holdsworth, whose Good Water has been named a finalist in the creative nonfiction category of Utah Humanities's 2017 15 Bytes Book Awards! Per the Utah Humanities site: "The finalists were determined by 15 Bytes’ staff and guest judges based on two criteria: quality of writing/artistry and that indefinable quality that makes a book special and unforgettable." The winner will be announced in September during the Utah Humanities Book Festival.
"This collection is funny, clever, pleasant, and engaging as history and as reflections of an exceptional topography. The book is also indulgent, sympathetic, and humane. Holdsworth’s affection and enthusiasm for Good Water and for Wayne County are contagious and, when you get a chance to read these essays, they will entice you to the periphery, too."
