Montana Panoramic: Transparent in the Backlight

Featuring Author Shann Ray & Photographer Craig W. Hergert

A reading and showing of photography from the beautiful new book, 'Montana Panoramic: Transparent in the Backlight.'

Anyone with ties to Montana will revel in the breathtaking photographs of Craig W. Hergert and the lush poetry and stories of Shann Ray. The new book Montana Panoramic: Transparent in the Backlight, is the collaboration of these two renowned artists; it visually and sonorously captures "a music only Montana wilderness sings." The artists will present the book in readings and photos.

"Many of us consider Montana a home of soul," writes award-winning author Shann Ray in the book's introduction."Here, under skies clear or brooding, along miles of backroad, walking the fringe of forests, we are together in our varied towns, over lands and along riverbeds, up switchbacks, or among wetlands, stippled, gritty, graceful, unnerving, welcoming."
