Friday, 02 February 2007 To the credit of the filmmakers the poets all had divergent styles and "spoke" from different places, and the overwhelming majority of the poems were excellent. Like the reviewer, I found the "bleeping" of the "swear" words a little aggravating, and there were also some poor textual interstitials that proved to detract, rather than to add to the visual impact, but there were also some good ones too.

The documentary is filled with interesting poets reading and discussing their work. Unlike some other platforms on which poetry is laid bare, the discussion was complex and engaging. Most important part of this movie was the discussion of poetry, listening to people talk about the creative process, and the position of poetry in their lives--is the most gratifying and interesting thing about this movie, in my opinion.
