The artist and poet's latest collection is called People You Know, Places You've Been
Hana Shafi is a Canadian illustrator, essayist and poet whose new book, People You Know, Places You've Been, takes us on a journey from public transportation to antique stores to waiting rooms, looking at the connections we create with total strangers as we go through our daily lives. She speaks with Q guest host Talia Schlanger about the book and the power of those seemingly mundane interactions. Plus, she reads a poem from the collection.
