Poetry in Motion
 
 
Features: DVD, Aspect Ratio 1.33:1, Mono Audio
 
Called the "Woodstock of poetry" by American Film and "Dazzling" by The Los Angeles Times, Poetry In Motion is an unprecedented anthology of twenty-four leading North American poets who sing, chant, anything but "read" their work. Home Vision is proud to present Ron Mann's wildly entertaining performance film, which celebrates poetry's ancient oral tradition while making many of our best contemporary poets accessible to a popular audience.
 
"This movie is a classic."  Alan Ginsberg
