蒙大拿是 ...
地方性遺產

你知道蒙大拿為什麼被稱為大天空之州嗎?如果您曾經到過那裡,您就會瞭解了;蒙大拿的人口稀疏,而且當地沒有任何的高樓建築,以致於天空看起來是如此的廣大,似乎沒有盡頭可言,不像那些總是被高樓大廈所阻斷的大城市天空。

「我愛關於蒙大拿的每件事物」牛仔詩人麥可羅根(Mike Logan)在他的書<<蒙大拿是…>>(Montana Is ...)中所說,「我感覺每一天都置身於天堂」。

羅根是如此的熱愛蒙大拿,因此他將他的詩及蒙大拿的照片集結出書,以便與他人分享蒙大拿的美。羅根在1968年移居蒙大拿,在接下來的幾年內,他每天都徜遊在蒙大拿的原野中,拍攝"令人驚嘆的大天空之州"。羅根的敏銳洞察力和精神已獲國家喝采,而且他是美國及加拿大各處牛仔詩集會中的重要詩人。他所說的話和相片曾出現在許多書、雜誌和日曆中。羅根的詩深切的反映出他對蒙大拿的感受。

你的州對你意謂什麼?

 
Do you know why Montana is often called Big Sky Country? If you've ever been there, then you know that the sky seems so "big" because the state is sparsely populated and free of tall buildings. The sky goes on forever, uninterrupted by a lot of structures, like you see in many big cities.

"I love everything about Montana," cowboy poet Mike Logan says in his book Montana Is ..., "I still feel like I'm spending every day in heaven."

Logan loves Montana so much he published a book of his poetry and photographs of the state so he can share Montana's beauty with others. Logan moved to Montana in 1968, and in the following years he has spent many days in its wilds, photographing this "marvelous big-skied state." Logan has won national acclaim for his keen insight and spirit, and he has been the featured poet at cowboy poetry gatherings throughout the United States and Canada. His words and photographs have appeared in many books, magazines, and calendars. Logan's poems reflect his deepest vision of what "Montana is."

What does your state mean to you?
