Donovan Livingston is reaching the end of his term as Chapel Hill’s poet laureate, but he’s going out with a bang – and a mixtape. He’s produced a “community mixtape” with the help of residents, and it’s being released at a farewell party on Friday, November 13, from 6-8 p.m. at Epilogue Books & Chocolate Brews on Franklin Street.

To discuss the mixtape and that upcoming party, Aaron welcomes Livingston and Hannah Kanwischer, the marketing and communications coordinator for the Chapel Hill Public Library.
