Breakfast In Montana

For this episode, we discuss two mysteries, the first being Death and the Good Life, one of only two novels written by notable Montana poet Richard Hugo, who was instrumental in developing the reputation for the Creative Writing department at the University of Montana. The second is a terrific mystery called A Bloom of Bones, by Allen Morris Jones, who is currently the editor of Big Sky Journal, as well as the publisher for Bangtail Press and a wonderful writer in his own right. Both of these novels feature protagonists that poets, which makes for an interesting discussion.
