The River We Carry With Us explores life in life in western Montana's Clark Fork River basin. Some of Montana's finest writers from the past and present give us landscape and history in grand sweeps and intimate recollections, taking us on a journey from the mining ruins of the upper Clark Fork, to the trout rich Big Blackfoot, to the calm waters of the Bitterroot, and finally to the cool depths of Idaho's Lake Pend Oreille.With a foreword by William Kittredge, this collection of voices speaks to our changing yet constant relationship with the river. Historical pieces, such as the travelogue in Harper's Magazine in 1894 and the account of a float trip down the Bitterroot in 1883, are juxtaposed with the work of more than twenty of Montana's best contemporary writers, including Rick Bass, Sandra Alcosser, Richard Manning, Edwin Dobb, James Lee Burke, Annick Smith, Ian Frazier, Debra Earling, Bill Vaughn, Caroline Patterson, and David James Duncan. Beautiful landscape photographs by Mark Alan Wilson enrich the text.

These poems offer an insightful examination of the human psyche's longing for the kind of intimacy which is so often elusive. And we are introduced to Raven, a symbolic alter ego who is humankind's dark witness, whose home is the sky, and whose gift is charity. This work was completed with a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council. The literary magazine Prairie Schooner, bestowed upon this oeuvre its Edward Stanley Award for Poetry.

The Peeping Tom Poems

Russell Chatham's landscapes are inhabited by moving light and shadow, sun-blasted hills and soft rivers, looming mountains and melancholy trees. He belongs to no current movement, lives far from the bicoastal art world, and his paintings consequently defy easy description. This volume, published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of the Rockies, includes Chatham's early oils from Northern California as well as the Montana paintings that have brought him national acclaim.

Greg Keeler has gradually gained a larger audience over the past decade by producing poetry that is elegant, humorous and acute. Keeler's world - that of a traveler, a member of a family, a man by a river - is recognizable to all, but slightly off center.

History & Criticism

As The Los Angeles Times wrote, New Mysteries of Paris is "not so much stories as character sketches, artfully drawn, as though told by people very close to their subjects - the narrator of Andra Breton's Nadja, a companion of King Farouk, the painter August Macka describing the young Paul Klee. Gifford is relentless in his imaginative scrutiny of human frailty." The four stories that evolve through each narrator's soul-searching are by turns straightforward, fantastic, bitter and erotic.
