In our first episode, Rayanne Haines and Matthew Stepanic talk with Lisa Martin, author of the poetry collection, BELIEVING IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING SAVED (University of Alberta Press, 2017). As we enjoy a Pinot Grigio paired with her poetry, we discuss Myers-Briggs personality types, vulnerability, and whether or not poetry can save us.
