Mormon poems are usually about spiritual topics or themes that are mostly written by the members of LSD Church, or the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. The Church has been established in the start of the nineteenth century have composing poetry since then. This art form is said to reach out to the Spirit.
An example would be Elders Journal, which was published at Far West in 1838, contained a beautiful poem that was a tribute to John Marsh. Some significant early known poets are Eliza Snow who penned O, My Father and Phelps who wrote The Spirit of God. Some known contemporary authors are John Talbot and Dilworth Young.
Their literature is considered to begin a few years before the publication of The Book of Mormon. Since then, their literature has grown to include more scriptures, as well as history, fiction, biographies, hymns, dramas, poetry, and others. They are a cultural and religious group related to Mormonism, the main branch of the Latter Day Saints movement.
Joseph Smith found Mormonism in the 1820s and through his visions began the church in New York around that time. Although they are the main part of the Latter Day Saints, there are some who chose to be independent and there are others who do not practice the religion anymore. Other than being religious, they also put a high importance to family life and values, like fidelity and chastity.
During the start of the nineteenth century, Mormonism and Protestant Christianity had very strong similarities. Although Mormons practice Christian, they also have rituals that are unknown to traditional Christianity. They firmly believed that God spoke through Smith and those who succeeded him to restore the truths of the original religion taught by Jesus Christ himself.
They used to practice polygamy or plural marriage which Smith has established in Nauvoo, but was opposed by the US congress. The practice was officially abolished by Wilford Woodruff in his 1980 manifesto. They are identified as Christians though some of their beliefs differ from the mainstream Christianity.
Other than the Bible, they also believe in other scriptures such as The Book of Mormon. It is a sacred text the contains writing of prophets who live the American continent from 2200 BC to AD 421. The book was published on March 1830 by Joseph Smith. It also contains several passages not found in all other scriptures such as the redemption from death and eschatology.
The important event in the book is the appearance of Jesus Christ in the Americas shortly after his resurrection. The book is divided into smaller books, titled after the primary authors and divided into chapters and verses. It is written in English and is very similar to the early King James Version of the Bible and has been translated into 108 languages today.
Their writing is not necessarily about Mormons, but can be just about anything else, to be part of their literature. Today there a lot of Mormon authors who are in the limelight for their writings, like Stephanie Meyer who wrote the Twilight series, Orson Scott Card who wrote Enders Game and Anne Perry who wrote The Face of a Stranger. The stories and Mormon poems they make is just as brilliant as anything an American has written.
