Silent Notes Taken is comprised of fifteen new personal essays by a group of writers living in New York City who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Interspersed between the essays is a series of original etchings. Together, the texts and images comprise a latter-day sampling of contemporary urban Mormon life. Some of works weave elaborate tales; others are autobiographical, philosophical, humorous, or political. Some of the essays react to the recent events in New York City and are eye-witness accounts of shock, loss, and recovery. The book sprang from an ongoing relationship of the writers, the writers of New York City's Mormon Artists Group.
