1263: Film Theory by Xan Forest Phillips

The Slowdown: Poetry & Reflection Daily

Today’s poem is Film Theory by Xan Forest Phillips. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual.

In this episode, Major writes… “Today’s poem reminds me that artists exist in a culture of rejection. And over time, the little illusory nicks to your ego, and the weight of commitment to your art, either extinguishes your fire or has you recommit even more, driven by that sheer love of making.”
