Through di Prima's recorded readings, including a deeply moving reading of her unpublished poem "The Poetry Deal" and rare interviews with di Prima in her home, this short artful documentary explores the poet's body of work, motivations as a writer, and reflects on her relationship with her chosen art form. It is a brief but powerful look at the life of an influential yet often-overlooked poet. This is a unique portrait that also uses rare archival footage, impressionistic B&W film scenes, and powerful stories that bring di Prima to life. See less
