America by Allen Ginsberg

Poet: | Nationality: | Filmmaker:

An impressive videopoem apparently made for a high school English class. I particularly like how the young filmmaker asserts herself as a kind of alternate-history author of the poem. It seems in keeping with the poem’s own speculative interests.
