Old Family Movies: A Book of Poems - Softcover
Old Family Videos: Poetry Video consists of a book of poems plus a 40-minute DVD with ten videos of poems from the book. The videos are digital movies, consisting of the poet reading his poems accompanied by slideshows, old movie footage from the 1930s, photographs dating from the 1920s through the 90s, and animated text. They are a new form of personal memory, produced by mixing the traditional genre of nostalgic, performed lyric with twenty-first century visual technology. \n\t
