Dianne Oberhansly

Flannery O’Connor award winning writer

Dianne Nelson Oberhansly. 

“Utah is a place of strange and wonderful beauty.  It is also a wonderful place of strange best kept secrets.  One of these is the literary work of Dianne Nelson Oberhansly, who may well be the most versatile writer in the State of Utah.  An accomplished novelist, poet, and author of a major award-winning collection of short stories, she now adds this potpourri of splendid poems, stories, and essays to her dossier. Beyond all this, she is perhaps an even more magnificent human being, gourmet, friend, and teacher.  If you have not yet made her acquaintance, that is a terrible misfortune.  Here and now is the opportunity for rectification: this is a certain love affair, rimrocked and at the ready.”
– David Lee, Utah’s 1st Poet Laureate
