For this episode, we interview Livingston poet and owner of Elk River Books Marc Beaudin, about his latest collection, Life List, which was named an Honorable Book by the latest Montana Book Awards.

 

And we also discuss a classic book from the 70s, written by a man who taught at the University of Montana in the 1960s. Robert Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is in part about his journey back to Montana to visit the place where he suffered an emotional breakdown.
