From Missoula, Mont., comes a double celebration as
Wilderness Watch’s Summer Wilderness Conference and the annual
gathering of the Association of Literature and the Environment
(ASLE) converge on the town July 17-20. Poet Gary Snyder will read
to a crowd of conference-goers from both camps. Wilderness Watch
hosts environmentalist Stewart Udall, who will highlight discussion
of current wilderness issues such as overflights and private
inholdings, while readings by poet Pattiann Rogers and Montana
writer Rick Bass are among the main ASLE attractions. Attendees are
welcome to mix and match conference events. Call Russell Trunzo
with Wilderness Watch at 406/542-2048 or ASLE conference director
Hank Harrington at
