It was pretty neat to be at the National Humanities Conference and have our state council win this award. It was well deserved - our staff and board worked hard to promote public affairs programming across Montana.

I am very happy for you all at HM. (However I was sadden when the only people to attend the Can We Talk conference in Billings were generally NICE people.) The people that NEED to be at the table are the City, County, School Board, Police, Labor, etc. None of those folks were attending. But the effort is worthy and appaudable. Good Job.

It went well. The images we found to coincide with the poems are pretty amazing...and the MAM has a great set up, so it's a "full immersion" experience. It was cool when the topic was "Renaissance Ideal;" I think it will be even wilder with all the images of "Mechanical Paradise"...but when we get to "Eye Deep In Hell" Nov 21st...I think I'll be afraid to look at the screen. I have such a strong connection with these WWI poets...I still get choked up after teaching this for years.

The community conversation on "The Surrounded" was wide-ranging, thoughtful, frank. Folks are struggling to reconcile the ending to many of the energies circulating in the novel. There's a sense that Archilde has connected to his people (and his father), and so the ending seems dire, upsetting...
