Chris La Tray, Métis storyteller and Montana Poet Laureate, will speak with Montana Conversations at the Bozeman Public Library on April 22, at 6 p.m. Humanities Montana funds Montana Conversations, a program that brings trained facilitators across the state to conduct workshops and conversations on current affairs, culture and history.
“Whether as words on a page or shared orally, poetry becomes another means for telling and sharing stories; La Tray’s programs exist to remind people that their stories matter, that they are the only ones who can properly tell them, and that poetry, however it is defined, is a beautiful means for doing so,” BPL’s website says of La Tray.
La Tray has authored “Short Poems and Essays from the World at Large.” His latest book, “Becoming Little Shell” is published by Milkweed Editions. La Tray is an enrolled member of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Read more about the event at BPL’s website.
