Postcards from Montana is a woman’s testimonial of love for a place. How to put into words and images that love when the place is so vast, so unfathomable in its beauty?
I write these ‘postcards’ not to claim fluency or belonging, says poet Brooke Herter James, but rather to set down exactly what I see … .
And what a joy it is to see love and place through the camera lens and praiseful language of a spirit attuned to what others might take for granted. These aren’t simply postcards from Montana: these are postcards from the heart. Thank you, Brooke Herter James, for waking me again in the paradise of gratitude.
