The United States of Poetry

Posted in: Fun Bits, films

Poetry needs no introduction.
In this clip from the audacious “United States of Poetry,” Leonard Cohen and Amiri Baraka opine on the American dream. From the wars against disorder and the fires of the homeless, Democracy is coming to the USA. The flag may be on fire and that X is black.

“The United States of Poetry” was directed by Mark Pellington and produced by Joshua Blum and Bob Holman for Washington Square Films. Bob Holman is the proprietor of the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City. For more visit: www.worldofpoetry.com and www.bowerypoetry.com.
