Poetry Matters Now.

We think now is the time to look and listen more closely, more attentively, to America's poets.

Three projects.

Not-for-profit.

• A feature documentary, intended for theatrical release.
• A series of documentary shorts and profiles of some of America's master poets.
• This website.

Many questions.

Here are a few we're exploring:

• What is good poetry?
• Who's to judge?
• What does it take to be a poet?
• Does poetry have to "make sense"?
• Do we all have poetry inside us?
• What makes poets burn?
• Is poetry dangerous?
• Can poetry save your life?

Any ideas?

We have a wonderful group of poet advisors, and we're looking to build a team of interns and professionals to help develop our projects.

If you want to help us make poetry matter more to more people through film and video, on and off the web, please get in touch.
