This week we're in conversation with Greg Bem, a poet, community college librarian and the founder of Carbonation Press.

Carbonation is a small, local literary publisher with a catalogue of about 20 titles so far. Two recent titles get special focus here: the bilingual poetry anthology Somos ajolotes (We Are Axolotls) and the Spokane-centric poetry anthology Down River, Deep Root.

We also make a brief foray into another of Greg's ventures, the multidisciplinary event series called Foray for the Arts.
