About this listen

How often have you heard a film described as 'poetic'? Does 'poetic' mean anything more than 'looks nice'? What, if anything, do poems and films have in common? In the first episode of Poetry Goes to the Movies, we look at film directors who wrote poetry (Derek Jarman, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Abbas Kiarostami) and poets who made films, with a particular focus on Maya Deren and Margaret Tait.

Guest Star: Gerda Stevenson, author of Quines, talks about acting in Tait's sole feature-length film and her own poetry.
