'We all have poems inside us'
ROSCOE - On a beautiful late summer evening in the middle of nowhere, Montana Poet Laureate Chris La Tray inspired an audience of about 50 people in surprising ways. His talk and reading, hosted by River Arts & Books, sprinkled in humor with compelling discourse about the state of our country. He spoke July 25 on the lawn outside Rivers Arts and Books, which is housed in a former log-cabin post office built in 1894 in tiny Roscoe.

The bookstore is surrounded by cottonwoods and the last of the summer wildflowers, and in the shade of the trees, La Tray told his stories.
