When you read a poem, you can sit back and think about it; when you hear it performed, all the passion and personality emerges. Dramatically linking two mediums, this CD-ROM makes both experiences available at the click of a mouse.Ron Mann's superb film of twenty-four celebrated poets performing their work accompanies the printed texts on the screen. The result is a splendid synergy between the spoken and written word.You don't have to be a poetry aficionado to be seduced by William Burrough's unfogettable rasp or Heen Adam's psychedelic reminiscences, but this exuberant celebration may turn you into one!
