“Ken Kimmelman’s reproduction, on film, of Eli Siegel’s magisterial poem, is an extraordinary achievement. It matches, in its visual beauty, the elegance of Siegel’s words, and adds the dimension of stunning imagery to an already profound work of art.” —Howard Zinn, historian
The film is based on the esteemed 1925 Nation Magazine prize poem, read by its author, Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism. [Brochure] [Film Presentation] [Library Journal review] [Montana Magazine review]
