Poetry in Motion

Synopsis

An unprecedented anthology of twenty-four leading North American poets who sing, chant, anything but "read" their work. The result is a celebration of poetry’s ancient oral tradition and an energetic demonstration that verse is alive and thriving in the media-blitzed age. Featuring, among many others, Charles Bukowski, William S.
Burroughs, John Cage, Allen Ginsberg, Tom Waits. (90 minutes)
