Poet: Hal Sirowitz
A Year Younger by Hal Sirowitz
Hal Sirowitz’ Mother Said was a bestseller in Noway, whence this film by Kajsa Næss, who notes,
The film is made using a mix of pixillation, cut out photographs and stop motion.
Shot on 16mm
Genius by Hal Sirowitz
Poet: Hal Sirowitz | Filmmaker: Robert Fones
Produced by The Center for International Education. I’m assuming it’s by this Robert Fones, a Canadian visual artist. The poem is from Sirowitz’ best-selling book Mother Said, which I reviewed three weeks ago.
Chopped Off Arm and Crumbs by Hal Sirowitz
American poet Hal Sirowitz is, according to an uncited assertion in the Wikipedia, the best-selling translated poet in Norway, thanks mainly to these and other animations by Sigrid Astrup. I think the Norwegian really adds an interesting dimension to the poems.
