The Poet's View offers unprecedented access into the life and work of some of America's finest poets. These films are warmly insightful portraits recorded in the personal setting of each poet's home and at various locations. The Poet's View offers an up-close invitation into the day-to-day life of the poet and an opportunity to hear poems read by the author.
The series was produced by the Academy of American Poets with generous assistance from the Wallace Stevens Fund. The director/producer was Mel Stuart, whose credits include the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and many critically acclaimed documentaries.
The full series is available on DVD, and includes portraits of John Ashberry, Louise Gluck, Anthony Hecht, Kay Ryan, and W. S. Merwin.

Thank you, whoever you are. It is thrilling to understand that Ashbery can be located in the same indefinite space as a skate boarding bull dog. And I mean this.
A coin engraved with Ashbery's face takes the elevator to innocence, where Storybook's coffee inundates a vampyr in a raincoat, a vampyr who caresses and clings to stoplights reflected in a mirrory cigarette floating into your mind.

that Ashbery can be located

bull dog. And I mean this.

a vampyr in a raincoat, a vampyr
who caresses and clings to stoplights
reflected in a mirrory cigarette
