Some say poetry is dead, and others say that it’s just that the delivery system is broken.  Earlier this year a West Coast poet, play write and filmmaker named Alvarez undertook a cross-country book tour, doing poetry readings with friends and acquaintances along the way.

   

I regret that I wasn’t able to accept an invitation to join him in Chicago.  Especially since I later found out that his efforts were being filmed for the making of an exciting new documentary, The State of the Poem.


The State of the Poem is being produced by Zampano Films.  Distribution is not finalized at this point, but an extended trailer is available for viewing at their site.  This should prove that poetry is still alive and well.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
