In honor of the 40th anniversary of film distributor Women Make Movies, we are featuring two of their latest releases, both addressing the work of courageous poets. Poetry of Resilience (2011, 40 minutes) is a documentary by Academy Award®-nominated director Katja Esson about six international poets who individually survived Hiroshima, the Holocaust, China’s Cultural Revolution, the Kurdish Genocide in Iraq, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Iranian Revolution. The Poetry Deal: A Film with Diane di Prima (2011, 27 minutes) is an impressionistic document on the life of poet, prose writer, playwright, teacher, and revolutionary activist Diane di Prima.
