More than twenty North American poets recite, sing and perform, and early in the film Charles Bukowski reflects on a poem’s energy. The voices trace a lineage from Walt Whitman and Charles Olson, spanning Black Mountain poets, Beats, minimalists like John Cage, the wordless Four Horsemen and Tom Waits, often blending radical political imagery with a troubadour spirit.
