Welcome to The Write Question, a program that explores the world of writing and publishing in the western United States. Our guest today is poet Joanna Klink from Missoula, Montana.

Joanna Klink teaches poetry at the University of Montana. She is the author of two collections of poetry: They Are Sleeping, which won the Contemporary Poetry Series through the University of Georgia Press, and Circadian, just released from Penguin Press. Her work has appeared in The Kenyon Review, Denver Quarterly, Boston Review, and other journals. A recipient of a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writer’s Award in 2003, she lives in Missoula.


FYI:

Recently published books by regional writers includes, Merle’s door: Lessons from a Freethinking Dog, by Wyoming author Ted Kerasote. Merle’s Door is a moving love story that reveals how the partnership between dogs and humans can become far more than we have imagined.

If you’re interested in mystery fiction, try Free Fire, by C.J. Box, another author from Wyoming.

For more information about new books, contact your favorite bookseller or library.

And here’s a quote from Henry Ward Beecher: “Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing else that so beautifully furnishes a house.”
