From her soundproof closet to the Wordfest stage comes Calgary’s own Josie Balka and her debut book of heartwarming poetry, I Hope You Remember: Poems on Loving, Longing and Living. Radio host by day, content creator and writer by night, Balka’s poems are at turns relatable, humorous, and poignant. Josie shares herself genuinely and generously with her hundreds of thousands of followers, and she’s ready to charm her hometown in this authentic and uplifting conversation hosted by Nicola MacNaughton.
We’d like to thank Simon & Schuster for making it possible to connect you with Josie Balka.
