Montana Book Festival

Join native Montana poets Marc Beaudin, author of Vagabond Song, and Gary Whithed, author of Having Listened, for a dynamic reading.

“Is there such a thing as free-range literature? I think there is and I think this is it. These lovely, spirited, freewheeling trip logs are charged with the poetry of motion.”

–Walter Kirn, author of Up in the Air, about Marc Beaudin's Vagabond Song.

“In Having Listened, Gary Whited guides the reader to a time and place that evokes the very essence of his experience growing up on the prairie of Eastern Montana. Through his eloquence and imagery, Whited brings the reader to a deeper understanding of the spiritual beauty and sorrows of that life and thus a deep universal connection to it.”

— James T. Powers, author of Saving the Farm
