Visible Poetry Project

A National Poetry Month initiative connecting 30 poets with 30 Filmmakers to create videos that present poems as short films.

Stuck for something to watch while you're stuck inside? Here's our list of poetry films, featuring a big handful that you can enjoy completely free online.

April 2, 2020: A VOICEMAIL TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER https://t.co/av9Ts4wXqK

[Judith Palmer @WasThatThunder]

To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.

Edna St Vincent Millay

"The most beautiful part of your body
is where it’s headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world."

Chilly overcast day in NYC and we’re thinking about all the art made about overcast days. Isn’t it cool how we can glean such meaning from the way the clouds settle in the sky?

Friendly reminder to check out one of our poetry panelists @ThePoetsLizard! Luisa A. Igloria has been one of our featured poets twice!

But also the point of this is why not celebrate by reading some poetry by Mexican writers? Gary Soto and Sandra Cisneros are both a start but why stop there? Bonus points if you read a poem in Spanish. Try it- you may understand more than you think!

It is Mexican Independence Day by the way and I for one think it’s criminal, that I, an independent Mexican, am sick

By “kill your darlings” you mean “copy/paste your darlings into a separate word document that you’ll maybe one day look back at,” right?
