In our fourth episode, Rayanne Haines and Matthew Stepanic talk with Mary Pinkoski, Edmonton's fifth Poet Laureate and the 2019 Metro Federation Regional Writer in Residence. As we sip the Glenora Breakfast Blend tea from Acquired Taste Tea Company paired with Mary's own bold poetry, we discuss oddly inspiring motivational posters, the value of museums, and the power of the spoken word.
