Celebrity Poetry Reading

Missoula Public Library provided space for several events of this year's Montana Festival of the Book. The large meeting room was home to a poetry reading which featured some well-known names.

First up was Montana's Poet Laureate, Greg Pape.

Then Senator Jon Tester read a favorite of his about the farming life.

Missoula's Mayor John Engen then explained how hard it was to find an appropriate poem to read, eventually offering one about politics.

A good time was had by the full room's attendees, judging by the laughter and applause that echoed around downstairs.
