What Is Poetry to You?(es)

Cecilia Vicuña made her first documentary while residing in Colombia after the 1973 coup d’état in Chile.

Speaking with school children, street performers, policemen, sex workers, fellow artists, and a scientist, the all embracing character of poetry emerges—its transformative role in personal relations, as a basis of oral history and the revolutionary imagination. – Chris Borkowski
