The 2008 Montana Festival of the Book takes place Oct. 23-25 in Missoula, featuring some of the finest writers of the West.
This year’s Festival includes a new event called “The Favorite Poem Project,” a community-based reading originally developed by former poet laureate Robert Pinsky to demonstrate the civic presence of poetry. The concept is simple: individuals from the local community share their favorite poem, taking a minute to say how it has been meaningful in their lives.

The Missoula Favorite Poem reading takes place Saturday, Oct 25th at 2:30 in the Main Street Library and will include Mayor John Engen and Montana poet laureate Greg Pape.
