The Last Tiger is Somewhere

Weller Book Works is pleased to host Rob Carney and Scott Poole, authors of The Last Tiger is Somewhere.

In The Last Tiger Is Somewhere, two poets from the West bring their work together and take apart the news. Recent history gets jigsawed. Current events get skewered. The result is thirty praise songs, fairy tales, guilty verdicts, and mathematical equations. There are prayers here, and new commandments. There are portraits and photographic negatives. And an introduction by Carney and an afterword by Poole form a frame around it all.

Rob Carney and Scott Poole turn the news on its head in The Last Tiger Somewhere, a poetry collection that brings together the best of both poets. The poets jigsaw recent history and skewer current events. What results is a series of prayers, praise songs, fairy tales, commandments, guilty verdicts, and mathematical equations.

This event is made possible with support from Weller Book Works, The City Library, and Utah Humanities.
