A Regionalism That Travels: Writings on (Mostly) Montana Arts, 1975-2022, gathers together essays, talks, and reviews by Rick Newby, one of Montana's leading writers, editors, and publishers. These writings focus on Big Sky Country's writers and visual artists and the state's cultural history, especially the state's vibrant literary tradition, its remarkable and sophisticated ceramics community, and the rise of modernism in all the arts. Margaret Kingsland, former director of Humanities Montana, asserts: "If you want to understand the creative artists of today's Montana, read this book! Rick Newby, one of Montana's most insightful critics, guides us to a deeper understanding of the joys, relationships, challenges, and achievements of contemporary Montana writers, artists, collectors, and arts centers." Montana's foremost art critic Gordon McConnell writes: "For the past forty years, Rick Newby's perceptive and scrupulously researched writings on the cultural history, art and literature of Montana have guided my reading, informed my thinking and fortified me in my own advocacy for the most progressive and 'well traveled' contemporary artists of the region. His writings are lyrical, elegant, deeply insightful and suffused with a constructive and benevolent spirit. The cultural terrain he has examined is vast, and we know it better for his untiring attention." (For more about Rick Newby, visit https: //ricknewbywritereditor.com/)
