Montana Conversations: Montana’s Poet Laureate with Allen Morris Jones

Friday, July 10 • 2:30 PM
O’Fallon Historical Museum – Baker, Montana
Free & open to the public

Join us at the O’Fallon Historical Museum for a special Montana Conversations program featuring Montana Poet Laureate Allen Morris Jones.

An accomplished storyteller across multiple literary forms — including novels, children’s books, personal essays, and poetry — Jones explores how stories shape our understanding of ourselves and our communities.

During this engaging hour-long presentation, Jones will share his personal journey toward discovering the essential elements of storytelling. The program includes readings from his autobiographical poetry, insights into how narratives emerge from everyday life, and guided prompts inviting participants to reflect on and begin telling their own stories.

We live surrounded by stories. They tell us who we are, where we come from, and where we might be going. Some stories unite us as communities, while personal stories shape our sense of self.

Funding for the Montana Conversations program is provided by Humanities Montana through grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Montana’s Cultural Trust, the Heyneman Foundation, and private donations.
