Literature

The Bookmarked Literary Arts Festival is back in Lander later this month for its fifth year. The gathering aims to broaden the definition of what literature looks like – and who’s writing it – in the state.

The Houlihan Narratives is being held at the Bookmarked Literary Arts Festival in Lander Sept. 16. The name, Houlihan Narratives, comes from the ranching and climbing community. A houlihan throw is a way to grab and pull two things together. The premise: people go up on stage and tell a ten minute story in front of a live audience of neighbors and peers.

Ernest Hemingway is considered by many in the literary field to be one of the most prolific authors in American literature. Books such as ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls,’ and ‘A Farewell to Arms’ are just two of his famous works. A conference that will be held in Sheridan beginning July 17 celebrates his works and his life.
