Chico Review, 2024 / by David Herington

A house fire in Livingston, Montana.

My time at the Chico Review was transformative. It was one of the most challenging and at the same time, best weeks of my life.

I’m extremely grateful to have met so many wonderful people, and for the insightful, inspiring and supportive feedback to my photographic process. I think it might take me a while to fully process and understand everything I was told, but one of my favourite things about life is to never stop learning.

Bill Boling shared a Gary Snyder poem with me, written about how poetry comes to him. It really touched me.

It comes blundering over the

Boulders at night, it stays

Frightened outside the

Range of my campfire

I go to meet it at the

Edge of the light
