On Tuesday, September 7th, poet and editor Jim Lenfestey joins us to talk about Low Down and Coming On: A Feast of Delicious and Dangerous Poems about Pigs. An anthology of 133 poems (and one recipe) by 104 poets from around the world, it's been described as "corpulent" and "spicy." The anthology is dedicated to poet and essayist Bill Holm, whose idea it was before he died unexpectedly in 2009.

Also in this week's show, we talk with novelist John Reimringer about his debut novel Vestments, the story of a St. Paul-based young Catholic priest still coming to terms with his vocation and family history.
