Independence-Eve with Utah poet Rob Carney. Plus, one-on-one with Erin Mendenhall, candidate for SLC Mayor.

Tonight's lineup:

Utah poet Rob Carney is back for an Independence-Eve special. He even wrote a call and response piece that Billy and Lara got to do with him. Plus, he’s got another fractured fairytale and—motivated by talk of a teachers' strike here in Utah—an essay to answer the question, "What do poets do on summer break?"

  • Carney is the author of five books and three chapbooks of poems, most recently "The Book of Sharks." He is the winner of the 2013 Terrain.org Poetry Prize and the 2014 Robinson Jeffers/Tor House Foundation Award for Poetry. His work has appeared in Cave Wall, Mid-American Review, and many other journals, as well as Flash Fiction Forward (Norton 2006). He is a Professor of English at Utah Valley University and lives in Salt Lake City.

One-on-one with Erin Mendenhall, a candidate for SLC mayor. This interview was recorded last month as part of the Impact Politics series at Impact Hub Salt Lake, 150 S. State St., SLC. To hear the full interview with Mendenhall, click here.
