Poetry in Motion 1982 With Charles Bukowski articulating the everyman view that poetry is irrelevant, self-indulgent, dull and nonsensical, two dozen North American poets -- including Allen Ginsberg -- provide the counterpoint with stirring interpretations of their words. William S. Burroughs, Anne Waldman and Jim Carroll are among the other hipster bards on hand in this impressive anthology of recitations. Also included is a brief interview with director Ron Mann. NOT ON NETFLIX!
I want you to put your ear to a stone and open your heart to the sky I want you to put your ear to a stone and open your heart to the sky! Thank you for the wisdom!
@Elgrandeshit For those who are curious about that, this piece is called "We Got Here Yesterday, We're Here Now, And I Can't Wait To Leave Tomorrow" and the album is called "Who You Staring At?" I first heard it on WMFU.

How great to see this posted after so many years of trying to recall this poet's name and this performance in particular.
