The Poet and the Pond / 1980

More evocations of this style are evident in the shorter film THE POET AND THE POND (6 min, sound), an amalgam of patterns and repetitions that also bring to mind both the disciplined litanies of Marcel Duchamp and the surreal dreamscapes of Salvador Dali. (Scharres indicated in her piece that Bruns “is largely unfamiliar with the tradition into which his work clearly falls,” making all these comparisons, hers and mine, thought-provoking. How is it that an artist can so fully exude his own style that seems to be the product of certain influences, but isn’t?) -Karen Sachs

The Poet's Veil / 1988

Window Horses: The Poetic Persian Epiphany of Rosie Ming / 20167.52 voti

Rosie Ming, a young Canadian poet, is invited to perform at a Poetry Festival in Shiraz, Iran, but she’d rather be in Paris. She lives at home with her over-protective Chinese grandparents and has never been anywhere by herself. Once in Iran, she finds herself in the company of poets and Persians, all who tell her stories that force her to confront her past; the Iranian father she assumed abandoned her and the nature of Poetry itself. It’s about building bridges between cultural and generational divides. It’s about being curious. Staying open. And finding your own voice through the magic of poetry. Rosie goes on an unwitting journey of forgiveness, reconciliation, and perhaps above all, understanding, through learning about her father’s past, her own cultural identity, and her responsibility to it.
