In Let’s Get Lit, Rayanne Haines and Matthew Stepanic interview poets based in Alberta and Western Canada about their work and about the power and relevance of poetry to support and promote poetry, arts, and literacy. In a conversational style, we'll enjoy a glass of wine, chosen to match the poet's personality and style, while learning more about each poet and asking why poetry matters. Wine expert Gurvinder Bhatia provides wine for this series from his private cellar. Let's Get Lit is presented with the Writer's Guild of Alberta. Follow us on twitter @lets_lit.
