A vision board can serve as a visual image of where you want to go in specific areas of your life. They encourage you to focus on what goals you want to achieve. When you create a physical image of what you want\, it serves as a reminder of what your priorities are and can serve as a road map on how to get there.  \n\n\n\nOn January 5\, 2025\, 1:00 -4:00 p.m.\,  Traci Isaly will head up a group of individuals who want to set the intention to manifest their dreams and goals for 2025.

Participants should bring magazines\, pens\, pencils\, and scissors for their own use.  \n\n\n\nWooden boards for Vision Boards will be provided\, as well as glue.

She has attended workshops in fiction writing\, screenwriting\, playwriting\, and journalism through Tin House\, Harvard University\, the UVA Young Writers Workshop\, and the Iowa Young Writers’ Studio. \n\n\n\nShe is also an actor and singer; while at Harvard\, she toured internationally with the jazz a cappella group The Radcliffe Pitches\, and she has most recently appeared onstage in Relative Theatrics’ productions of Black Sky and Arsonist.  \n\n\n\nShe has a background in outdoor sports\, and has written for the rock climbing magazines Rock and Ice and Gym Climber. She is a recreational rock climber\, skier\, hiker\, runner\, and PADI-certified Open Water Diver. \n\n\n\nRos Demir Is Not the One\, a Junior Library Gold Standard Selection is the debut novel by author Leyla Brittan. \n\n\n\nABOUT: Ros will do whatever it takes to get the guy. At least… she thinks she will. Sixteen-year-old Ros is a go-getter. When she wants something\, she makes sure she gets it. But a lingering rumor (and maybe some ambivalence about her half-Turkish heritage) has kept Ros from achieving the kind of reputation she deserves. So\, after years of plotting her big comeback\, she just needs one thing: a hot\, adoring guy on her arm at junior year homecoming. And when she meets charming new classmate Aydın at the Pine Bay resort over the summer\, she thinks she’s found The One. It doesn’t work\, though. And things get messy when Ros’s plan ends up hurting the only friend she has left… poor\, sweet\, forgiving Eleanor. This has happened before—things tend to get messy with Ros around—and it’s getting harder for her to ignore the pattern of hurt feelings. Plus\, it seems like Ros and Aydın aren’t really meant to be. What kind of a plan results in everyone ending up unhappy? Not a very good one.  \n\n\n\nA not-quite rom com starring a bold\, outspoken antiheroine\, this Turkish-American Romeo and Juliet remix is refreshingly snarky. Witty\, whip-smart dialogue plays with the complexities of multicultural identity and female friendships\, from Ros’s very first screw-up to her unconventional happy ending. \n\n\n\nPRAISE:“An engaging story with a rightfully complex protagonist.”—Kirkus Reviews \n\n\n\n“Fierce\, funny\, and utterly absorbing! Ros Demir is Not the One embraces the messy interplay of culture\, identity\, and our search for belonging. From her reckless choices around friendship and love to her complicated feelings about her Turkish American heritage\, Ros is refreshingly flawed—and deeply human. A witty page-turner that breaks with tradition\, Brittan’s debut shines with a special kind of light.”—Anuradha D. Rajurkar\, award-winning author of American Betiya \n\n\n\n“The sun-soaked Romeo and Juliet retelling you never knew you needed! Brittan’s debut is a story about self-acceptance and owning up to your mistakes\, all while keeping life a little messy. You don’t want to miss this!”—Anthony Nerada\, author of Indie Next pick Skater Boy \n\n\n\n“An exciting debut that packs a lot of heart. Ros Demir is the ultimate go getter—readers will love her intense machinations and the brutal honesty of her wanting to belong.” —Lilliam Rivera\, Pura Belpré  – Honor–winning author of Never Look Back URL:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/event/leyla-brittan/ CATEGORIES:Reading ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatgrassbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/wg_brittan.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20240928T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20240928T180000 DTSTAMP:20240904T201619Z CREATED:20240904T201617Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240904T201619Z UID:19917-1727535600-1727546400@wheatgrassbooks.com SUMMARY:Annual Community Banned Books Reading & Celebration DESCRIPTION:READING\n\n\n\nAnnual Community Banned Books Reading & Celebration\n\n\n\nIn celebration of Banned Books Week\, Wheatgrass Books will host a happy-hour style reading of short passages from a selection of banned books with emcees Stacy Peterson & Spencer Puckett!

McCarthy is a writer who spent twenty-one years as an award-winning reporter at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Her work has been published in the New York Times\, the American Scholar\, Fast Company\, and other venues. \n\n\n\nThe evening will be hosted by Kris King who is\, among many remarkable things\, the executive director of the Livingston Business Improvement District\, a freelance writer for the Montana Quarterly\, and a freelance marketing specialist at Buzz Media. The reading and discussion will take place at 6pm and will be followed by a book signing and reception. \n\n\n\nA River Runs Through It and Other Stories turned Norman Maclean into a late-in-life literary phenomenon and then a household name after the success of the Hollywood film based on the title story. Yet fewer know of Maclean’s lifelong struggles to reconcile very different parts of himself: the revered teacher and writer in the intellectual hub of Chicago and the Montana man compelled by the wildness and traumas of his home state and family\, including the tragic Mann Gulch fire and the murder of his brother. Rebecca McCarthy’s intimate portrait of Maclean draws on her long friendship with the author from the time she became a student at the University of Chicago through the rest of his life. Irrepressible as a teacher\, Maclean shared guidance\, advice\, campus and city rambles\, and loyal friendship with generations of students. Behind the scenes\, he honed an art as meditative and patient as his approach to fly fishing. McCarthy’s experiences intertwine with stories from friends\, family\, colleagues\, and others to detail an incredibly rich life that seemed destined to remain divided-until the creation of his classic American story.

Maggie spends her days going to the market\, fetching water\, playing with her only doll\, and drawing pictures in the dirt. Through her daily life\, Maggie captivates those around her with her innocent smile and gentleness. This is an African story of typical village life\, where strong community is built by helping one another\, spending time together\, and where children often share the work necessary to survive. Regardless of the daily hardships\, the fine people of the village are always smiling and filled with gratitude. Author Amy Brummit’s simple tale will have you falling in love with Maggie\, while illustrator Camila Caceres’ charming drawings bring the Ghanaian village to life.Amy Brummit  Amy Brummit was an educator for many years in far-flung places such as Ghana\, China and Paraguay. She loves the magic of children’s books and knows first hand how children light up and learn from them.  \n\n\n\nWhen not in Antarctica supporting science or guiding around the world on the National Geographic expedition ships\, Amy can be found home in Livingston\, Montana playing in the mountains and gleefully working hard at the Blue Slipper Theatre. \n\n\n\n What Happens In Montana by Kim McCollumA girlfriends’ reunion at a haunted\, holistic hot springs retreat in Montana leads to spilled secrets and betrayl\, but does it also lead to murder? Whiskey-swigging Maude Reeves\, the nearly eighty-year-old chef\, longs for the glory days when the retreat hosted martini-sipping celebrities instead of long-haired hippies who refuse to wear deodorant. She prefers the company of her dog and the ghost who haunts the retreat to regular people\, but one of the ladies who arrives for the reunion bears a striking resemblance to her late daughter\, and she is helplessly drawn in. Brooke\, feisty\, adventurous\, and a bit reckless\, proposes the reunion at the retreat with her best friends to get away from the current chaos of her life. One of those friends\, Tracy\, has devoted her life to her children and her husband despite her excruciating boredom. But a long-held secret threatens these friendships she holds most dear. Haunting the place is a ghost who\, in life\, dealt with tragedy by turning to prostitution which led to her murder over 100 years ago at the very place they are all staying. What Happens in Montana explores friendship\, betrayal\, and forgiveness with blunt truth and witty insights. Join Maude and her newfound friends as they confront the challenges of life\, love\, and the occasional poltergeist. Is their friendship strong enough to get them through it all. \n\n\n\nKim McCollum graduated from Barnard College as a Japanese major and headed to work on Wall Street because she thought that was what she was supposed to do. After many miserable all-nighters and the birth of her first child\, she chose to become a stay-at-home mom instead. Once the kids headed to school\, she finally pursued her passion for writing and is nearly finished with her master’s in creative writing at Harvard Extension School. She lives in Bozeman\, MT with her husband\, Brian\, and their blended menagerie of five kids\, three dogs\, and eight spoiled chickens. What Happens in Montana is her first novel.

The three women will be reading in rounds from their newly released works beginning at 6 pm at Wheatgrass Books on Thursday August 8th. \n\n\n\nJennifer Bisbing is an award-winning book editor and photographer originally from the Midwest. She writes book reviews for Montana Quarterly\, and edits for several national and international publishers. Her latest book of poetry is The Price of the Repair. She lives in Livingston. \n\n\n\nBisbing’s The Price of the Repair\, ( Finishing Line Press\, 2024) is a collection of unexpected\, sharp poems that reveal what it is like to be lost in the wilderness-searching for home\, where preference comes up against some surprising conflicts\, both inward and external. At 48\, Bisbing starts backpacking solo in Montana-where nature humbles her. Wildness is different in Montana. Bisbing\, who once faced lions in Zimbabwe\, finds her first grizzly sighting even more daunting. The bearded men in the backcountry\, with their rifles\, make the gang members in Chicago seem less intimidating. As a murder mystery author and the daughter of a renowned forensic scientist\, it isn’t by mistake that villains appear on her pages. She invites you to walk this treacherous path with her. Hit the pages like you’re stepping onto the trail. Unearth the secrets hidden between the lines and discover what Bisbing found in the wild and in a diner booth. \n\n\n\n“In Bisbing’s rooted and riveting chapbook\, we encounter a poetic voice that luminously inhabits the Western desolation without romanticizing it. There is a keen light in the eyes of this stoicism\, at the heart of these petitions to wind and rock\, which land so artfully ‘somewhere between the sky and riverbed.’”–Chris Dombrowski\, author of The River You Touch: Making a Life on Moving Water. He is also the author of Body of Water: A Sage\, A Seeker\, and the World’s Most Elusive Fish\, and of three acclaimed collections of poems. \n\n\n\nAmy Leach grew up in Texas and earned her MFA from the Nonfiction Writing Program at the University of Iowa. Her work has appeared in Orion\, A Public Space\, Granta\, Tin House\, The Best American Science and Nature Writing\, and numerous other publications. She is a recipient of a Whiting Writers’ Award\, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Award\, and a Pushcart Prize. She is the author of Things That Are\, published by Milkweed Editions\, and The Everybody Ensemble\, published by Farrar\, Straus\, and Giroux. Leach lives in Montana. \n\n\n\nA book of mischief and improvisation\, Leach’s The Salt of the Universe\, (Farrar\, Straus and Giroux\, 2024) answers fundamentalism of all kinds with rage\, music\, and delight. It asks questions that are urgent\, impossible\, necessary\, and irresistible: Where does freedom live? Why does it sometimes feel so good to be told what to do? What on heaven and earth is the Apicklypse? \n\n\n\nThese and other inquiries arise from Amy Leach’s experience: playing fiddle and piano (and sometimes the organ); her childhood in the Seventh-day Adventist Church\, and its many prohibitions (coffee\, dancing) and emphasis on the apocalypse. After listening to thousands of sermons from a variety of pulpits\, here Leach is offering one of her own. She borrows the words of an old hymn\, and says: “This is my story\, this is my song.” Accompanied by four-year-old mystics and six-year-old geologists\, bears and butterflies and willow trees\, she praises not obedience but freedom\, not secondhand but firsthand thoughts\, not homogeneity but heterogeneity. She champions Emily Dickinson and Jesus over interfering prophets\, questions over answers\, the soul over the institution\, Miles Davis over miles of marching.  \n\n\n\nThe Salt of the Universe argues against argument\, and against restrictions of all kinds and their limiting effect on our humanity. In this whirlwind of linguistic cartwheels\, philosophical shenanigans\, and praise songs to the cosmos\, Leach reminds us: we must run toward mischief\, music\, love\, the wonders of nature\, and the wild joys of all that we don’t yet know.  \n\n\n\nIn his Collected Works\, the surrealist poet Paul Eluard writes\, “There is another world\, but it is in this one.” The poems in Kate Fox’s\, The Company Misery Loves\, (Sheila-Na-Gig\, 2024) set out to examine what it means to exist in those distinct but inseparable worlds—worlds that can cause both misery and joy for those who are time-bound\, but can also grant infinite insight and wisdom. All the voices and stories gathered here intertwine and co-exist\, revealing\, as poet Irene Kinney writes\, “…this unknown buried in the known.” \n\n\n\nKate Fox’s work has appeared in the Great River Review\, New Ohio Review\, Green Mountains Review\, Kenyon Review\, Valparaiso Review\, Pleiades\, and West Branch. She has also authored two poetry chapbooks: The Lazarus Method\, chosen for the Wick Poetry Series and published by Kent State University Press\, and Walking Off the Map\, published by Seven Kitchens Press in Cincinnati. She was an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist’s Grant recipient\, and her poem\, “The Lost Baby Poem” earned second place in Cutthroat’s Joy Harjo Poetry Award competition. She lives in Athens with poet and scholar Bob DeMott\, and their two English setters\, mild-mannered Katie\, and ill-mannered Patch.

There will be a presentation and reading at 7 pm during the art walk. \n\n\n\nIn Linda Barnsley’s series “Blooms Amid the Stars” she contrasts the color and temporary nature of blooms against the dark and vastness of the universe. Billings entomologist\, spider enthusiast\, and insect photographer\, Marian Lyman catches insects she finds and then brings them home and uses extreme close-up photography to capture their unique beauty. Cara Chamberlain is a conservationist and advocate of animals of all kinds. In 2023\, her latest collection of poems\, To Gaze Upon Their Loveliness\, was released by Finishing Line Press in Kentucky. The collection is full of poetic love letters\, not to the natural world\, but from the natural world. Chamberlain has long written about her love of animals and the natural world in her poetry\, and she is also the author of Hidden Things\, The Divine Botany\, and Lament of the Antichrist in a Secular World and Other Poems. \n\n\n\nIn his latest novel\, Craig Lancaster\, hailed as “one of Montana’s most important writers\,” goes deep into how history shapes and confines us and how hope sometimes stubbornly abides. Accompanied by the photography of Lea Frye\, Scot Bealer leads you on a journey of discovery\, recalling occasions when he\, or sometimes his clients\, learned important lessons. His stories are warm\, funny\, and full of great advice to improve your fishing skills and better enjoy your time on the water. His comments on gear\, guides\, and other aspects of the sport are based on decades of practical experience.
