Wax Poetic: Poetry From Canada

Lilija Valis, "poet of freedom, connections, and mystery," visits Wax Poetic as a representative of Pandora's Collective, a local Vancouver literary arts group. She speaks also with co-hosts RC Weslowski and Pamela Bentley about starting anew and leaving things behind, her own history, writing process, political dissent, as well as Pandora's Collective's mission and activities, and the importance of community and attending readings. Pandora's Collective highlights include the resuming of their Gala and Awards and their Poetic Pairings readings, Words on Water, scholarships, workshops, Twisted Poets, and poetry contests.
