All the films are online now at The Visible Poetry Project www.visiblepoetryproject.com @VisiblePoetryProject. See You can view a poem a day for April – National Poetry Month USA – from the New York-based organisation. I have really enjoyed the variety, especially during lockdown, and it is good to look back over previous years, too. If you are a selected filmmaker you can pick one of their chosen poems to develop. My allotted day is April 25th and I was lucky to be able to choose evocative, bittersweet poem ‘Selfie with Marilyn’ by US poet Heidi Seaborn www.heidiseabornpoet.com @HeidiSeaborn. Her writing encapsulates Marilyn’s imaginary thoughts / loss of innocence perfectly to me. Equally, I feel Hatti Rees www.hattirees.com @Hatti_Rees completely inhabits the roles of Marilyn and Norma Jeane. See The Visible Poetry Project on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/411836281 Many thanks VPP, Heidi and Hatti (and Georgi for the stills) for the fantastic opportunity. 🙂
