Today, we hear from unhoused people in the East Bay on their role in the presidential race. Then, photos and voices from the lives that are swept up when an encampment is cleared.

Today, a local Iranian farmer grows the herbs of home. Then, an art exhibit encourages visitors to look inside themselves to feel empowered. And, Bay Poets brings us an oracle.

A childhood full of Christmasses in Wales has left IDEAS producer Tom Howell pining for a certain kind of nostalgic poem this winter. So he turns to poets to put into words a strange feeling of homesickness, nostalgia, and yearning in his documentary, Fireside and Icicles.

Modern day poetry.

[Written by Stephen Wright] Bermudian poets Elijah Bean and Rhys Campbell have collaborated to create a collection of work that views the “world through a spiritual lens.” Lumin: A Poetic Collaboration, published on December 1 and features 87 poems, was borne out of weekly meetings at sunrise in Astwood Park in Warwick, where the pair […]

Jonathan Land Evans has re-published “a long and lovely Bermuda poem by the noted American novelist and poet Hervey Allen, in which he recounted the interesting, moving, and sometimes dramatic life of a black Bermudian woman whom he came to know and admire towards the end of her life, during his long sojourn in Bermuda […]

RochesterInk Poetry Festival, October 2007 This talk might be subtitled, “Where Poetry Comes From,” because that’s what I’m most interested in. The best poems, the poems we want to reread and memorize and carry with us forever, are those that offer some kind of insight. They connect. They resonate. They touch on a deeper truth—a …

First light through the limbs of the trees. And then the trees. Each morning the hum of traffic through the freeway wall. And then the traffic we’re bottled in. Each thing first betrayed by the shapes around it. As if shadows held all our weight. Like the empty space that props each fiery nest of …

Rose Bowl, 2006 As she trills the last note, there’s smoke. Each song now taken literally. When the fire- crackers burst, we leap to our relief. We clap, put our fingers in our teeth. Then the B-1 Lancer in the twilight. Drum-roll of the turbofans, their heat. —from American Fractal

The post Poem from the Homeland first appeared on Timothy Green.

Originally published in the Press-Enterprise, July 2014 If you ask a roomful of poets what poetry actually is, you’ll hear a lot of grandiloquent hemming and hawing. Poets talk about poetry like the old parable of the blind men describing an elephant: “It’s long and slender like a snake!” “No, it’s thick and sturdy like …

REVIEW – When you live in a somewhat secluded wooded area like I do, you want to be able to monitor your property when you’re home and away from home. I’ve had multiple security cameras around my house for years, but only in the past year have I “graduated” to PoE cameras, and I love […]

City Hall [US, Frederick Wiseman, 4] The latest of Wiseman’s distinctive epic-length observational documentaries studies the quotidian, procedural and human moments of human life as seen through the processes of municipal government in Boston, as held together by the thoughtful charisma of Mayor Martin Walsh. Improbably absorbing as always, this institutional cross-section offers a beguiling vision of an oasis of good government in the USA.

In a normal year I’d wait for the four and a half hour Wiseman documentary to arrive on television rather than taking up two time slots to watch it from the confines of a cinema seat at TIFF. But this is not such a year and with a digital screening you get a pause button when you need it. This is bound for PBS and due to the breadth of its subject matter will serve as an excellent introduction to those unfamiliar with this pillar of the documentary form. Or track down 2017’s Ex Libris, about the New York Public Library. In North America Wiseman’s filmography can be found on the Kanopy platform, which you may be able to access through your public library system.

The Father [UK, Florian Zeller, 4] Retired engineer (Anthony Hopkins) struggles to piece together the confusing reality of his living circumstances as his daughter (Olivia Colman) copes with his progressing dementia. Impeccably performed stage play adaptation puts the viewer inside the contradictory shifts of the protagonist’s subjective viewpoint.

Forget Draculas and Cthulhus. This is the real terror.

Summer of 85 [France, Francois Ozon, 4] Love between two young men in a French beach town leads to a bizarre crime. Teen emotions run high in a sunlit melodrama of Eros and Thanatos.
