About this listen

 John and Christie interview Rick Kempa about the new issue of the literary journal, Deep Wild: Writing From the Backcountry. Rick talks about the ins and outs of running a literary journal, how Deep Wild fills a need in the literary landscape, whether or not Deep Wild could be considered "regional literature," and the importance of writing communities. John and Rick talk shop about their experiences teaching college students to write, and Rick also reads a selection from his own latest book of poetry, Too Vast for Sleep.  Rick Kempa is a poet, former instructor at Western Wyoming College, and avid backpacker, who founded Deep Wild five years ago. The annual literary journal is headquartered in Grand Junction and gets submissions from all over the world.
