Poetry Goes to the Movies S01E06: Good Poets, Bad Films Poetry Goes to the Movies

We end the first season with a look at how two poets have fared when their lives have been turned into celluloid: Allen Ginsberg (Kill Your Darlings, Howl, Pull My Daisy!, Renaldo and Clara) and Byron (Bad Lord Byron, Lady Caroline Lamb, Gothic). Can these films provide any real insight into poets and poetry - or are they mere parodies unworthy of the people they depict?
Guest Star: Ruben Quesada, editor of Latinx Poetics: Essays on the Art of Poetry and author of Revelations and Next Extinct Mammal, on Pedro Almodóvar and Terrence Malick.
