Missoulian Staff A volume that combines poetry and photography has taken the prize for the 2022 Montana Book Award. 'On a Benediction of Wind: Poems and Photography' places the free-verse writing of Charles Finn alongside black-and-white pictures by Barbara Michelman. The book 'weaves a tapestry of words and images from the natural world in the Pacific Northwest, the American Southwest and Montana,' according to a news release. The award was started in 2001 by the Friends of the Missoula Public Library and marks its 20th anniversary this year.
