Where the Morning Light’s Still Blue: Personal Essays about Idaho (1994) is a collection of thirty-five contemporary essays, edited by William Studebaker and Rick Ardinger, which catch a variety of responses and attitudes to the Idaho landscape. Writers from around the state describe their relationships to very particular places and chronicle their inspiration, frustration, love, and sometimes wry reactions. Quite varied in tone and style, the essays chronicle the diversity of writers’ voices working in Idaho today.

William Studebaker, born in Salmon, Idaho, teaches at the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls and is a noted poet, as well as the author of short stories, articles, and books. Rick Ardinger, director of the Idaho Humanities Council, is the editor of several anthologies and publisher of Limberlost Press.
