During the pandemic, artist Ligia Bouton and poet Matt Donovan used the ads and pages of Western Story to make collages, paintings, sculptures, and blackout poems that interrogate the loss and hope of human connection. The exhibition will launch a book version of the project and on October 4, Donovan will be reading from his 2022 collection The Dug-Up Gun Museum in Brockport’s esteemed Writer’s Forum.
