Heart of a Poet: Adeena Karasick

Performance artist, professor and Jewish cultural theorist, Adeena Karasick explores the ephemeral wilderness on the frontiers of language-based verse. An award-winning author of six books of poetry, including her recent 'The House That Hijack Built', and 'MÍmewars', which earned her a BC Book Award, she has performed worldwide and regularly publishes articles, reviews and dialogues on contemporary poetry.

Heart of a Poet introduces the featured artists and their writing through interviews, spontaneous recitations in and around their communities, readings at various locations in Toronto, and the many experiences both large and small that fill their days and help shape their poems.

The series Executive Producer is Maureen Judge of makin' movies inc. and series host is spoken word poet Andrea Thompson. It's a hip show that takes viewers inside the poetry community, in all its various forms, alternate incarnations and unfettered diversity.
