The Suburb of Long Suffering, which includes the novella-length title prose poem and Rick Newby’s celebrated essay, "Bookmen on the Montana Frontier," is—in the words of poet Roger Dunsmore—"the book of an erudite barbarian who tells us ‘solitude is a savage word.’" Poet and essayist Sandra Alcosser writes that Newby is himself a bookman "schooled . . . on exquisite passages from his father’s naturalist journals, as well as the sacred texts of Borges, Sartre, Milosz, Confucius, and Colette." The Suburb of Long Suffering, Alcosser adds, "has a protean narrator with a gift for paradox in both composition and observation. The teeth of a squirrel / are sharp, and its nest / a thing of beauty." And author and publisher Nick Lyons notes, "Rick Newby is terrific—with a shrewd eye, a truly original vision, and a delicious capacity to ‘yoke’ very disparate images." Novelist and poet Melissa Kwasny called Newby’s previous collection of poems, Old Friends Walking in the Mountains (also published by Bedrock) "a collage of sensual pleasures and play," and poet William Pitt Root found in Newby’s first book of poems, A Radiant Map of the World, "rich evidence of curiosity in the service of an intelligence eager to probe what is unstinting in human nature and equipped to report the findings memorably." Besides his three collections of poems, Newby has published nine other books, either as author or editor. These range from Walking San Francisco, written with his wife Liz Gans, to Writing Montana: Literature under the Big Sky, co-edited with Suzanne Hunger. He also edited the rollicking Western novel, A Most Desperate Situation: Frontier Adventures of a Young Scout, 1858–1864, by Montana pioneer Walter Cooper (illustrations by Charles M. Russell).

Autumn in Yellowstone is the season when life can be at rest in comfortable peace in life's constantly spinning push to appear and grow. It is a time when the earth can take a deep breath and show off its colors, when the bison cow can play as she did when she was a calf. More than 150 exquisite color photos. Murphy's first book, "Silence &amp; Solitude: Yellowstone's Winter Wilderness" won a 2002 Montana Book Award.

A unique champion. In the Golden Age of boxing, Marvin Camel a mixed blood from the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana defied all obstacles of race, poverty, and geographical isolation to become the first Native American to win a world boxing title. Complex and wildly charismatic, Camel combined tremendous physical talent with staggering self-discipline forged by the sting of his father s belt to claw his way to the top, twice winning world titles in the newly minted cruiserweight division and fighting on the same cards as boxing icons Roberto Duran, Larry Holmes, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Bob Foster. Camel s journey was an amazing example of gritty determination: punishing runs on Montana s back roads, relentless training in make-shift gyms, sleeping in beat-up cars before fights in glittering Las Vegas, and even training and fighting for a world championship in a foreign country, alone. Always, Camel willingly represented his state and his people, proudly wearing his eagle headdress into the ring. Yet with success came sacrifice and pain, both physical and personal, but in life as in the boxing ring, Camel emerged bloody but unbowed. With irresistible detail gleaned from years of frank interviews with Camel, his family and friends, his former opponents, and seasoned boxing insiders, Brian D Ambrosio s gripping biography captures the drama, danger, beauty, and ugliness of boxing, of Indian life on reservations, and especially, of the life of a stereotype-shattering man who inspired his people and boxing fans everywhere with his courage, achievements, and great warrior heart.

In the 2013-2014 school year, Montana had 68 active one-room schools, the most of any state. That year, University of Montana professor Keith Graham and Missoula photographer Neil Chaput de Saintonge visited 26 of these far-flung outposts of public education. Traveling more than 12,000 miles in all seasons, they encountered dedicated teachers and eager students, and they discovered that Montana s one-room schools fostered creative teaching, in-depth learning, and close bonds between teachers and students. Whether the school had one student or a dozen, the schools also served as important focal points for isolated communities. With 240 vibrant color photographs and engaging writing, their book, Chasing Time: The last of Montana s one-room schools, is an unforgettable portrait of these important cultural icons and their place in the modern world.
