Poets in Their Places is a short film in the making, created from interviews with six Okanagan poets. Third year creative writing students interviewed the poets in early 2012, and now Lori Mairs and Nancy Holmes are editing the final cut. The poets talk about walking and travelling, poetry and living in the Okanagan, memory, time, nature and home. Their wit and wisdom will dazzle you.
