Into the Unknown - #28

Issue #28 "Into the Unknown" features 40 writers and artists including winners of the Montana Prize for Fiction and Montana Prize for Humor. We also feature an interview with Susan Bridges to discuss her newly released collection of black and white photographs that she took on the set of the American Western epic, Heaven's Gate (Partisan Productions, 1980). Featured in the collection are never-before-seen images, including striking scenes from the director's chair and intimate portraits. In addition to Susan's work as an artist, the editors discussed a wide range of cultural and environmental issues including food insecurity, grizzly bears, community, and family-as well as the near-death scare and illness of her husband, the actor Jeff Bridges.

Issue #26 (Summer/Fall 2021) of the Whitefish Review gives voice to how the arts can help us find a path forward that includes restoration, healing, and hope. Nearly 50 artists and writers share their vision for a brighter world across 200 pages, including a 16-page color art and photography section.
