at Butte's Silver Dollar Saloon, and host writing workshops at Montana Tech. He also was honored with the 2008 Governor's Arts Awards for literature.Clark City Press publisher and artist Russell Chatham discovered Lahey's work about eight years ago when he just happened to read his poem "The Blind Horses." Chatham was moved.
"I read it and said, 'What the hell? How come I don't know this guy?'" Chatham said.
It didn't take long for Chatham to get to know Lahey, and he ended up publishing his collection of poems "Birds of a Feather" in 2005.
