This project delves into small-town life as portrayed in Kent Haruf's "Plainsong." Through a series of six photographs, we invite viewers to capture their responses or assumptions about the themes presented in Haruf's work. Each photo serves as a prompt to reflect on the lives of characters such as a pregnant high school girl, a lonely teacher, and abandoned boys. Haruf masterfully weaves their stories together, creating a narrative rich with wisdom and emotion. Join us in this exploration of community, connection, and resilience.

Investigatingsmall-town life In preparation for Plainsong
“Kent Haruf reveals a whole community as he interweaves the stories of a pregnant high school girl, a lonely teacher, a pair of boys abandoned by their mother, and a couple of crusty bachelors. From simple elements, Haruf achieves a novel of wisdom and grace – a narrative that builds in strength and feeling until, as in a choral chant, the voices surround, transport, and lift the reader off the ground.”
