POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY BOOKSTORE

   Featured this week in the Poets of the Week Books section of the PSH 
   Bookstore:

   GRAFFITI VERITE' 6 (GV6) THE ODYSSEY: - POETS, PASSION & POETRY -
   DVD

   An innovative, energetic approach to poetry. Suitable for students,
   established poets or those who are just curious, this is an inspiring
   documentary. It's fun enough to be entertaining and informative
   enough to educate. These talented poets offer excerpts of their work,
   and insights into their personal life, which cover a variety of
   topics. These include their reasons for writing, the force that
   drives them, their love of language and freedom of expression. As
   they share their artistic struggles, frustrations, the discipline
   required and even the stigma that comes with being a poet, this
   reviewer sensed their collective creativity and honesty just leap
   from the screen! I found this DVD akin to a feel good movie, even
   though it was a documentary it had a celebratory, yet down to earth
   feel. These multi-ethnic characters all have diverse backgrounds but
   share one common goal to express themselves with a passion and
   excitement. And it's catching. To be honest, I never thought a
   documentary on poetry could be so visually pleasing and stimulating.
   Special features include 'What is Contextual Poetry?' by Dr. Thea
   Iberall, Poet, 'What is a chapbook?' by Brendan Constantine, Poet and
   also the contact information for all 31 published and respected
   poets. Please take a moment to click on the link below to read about
   each author.

   DVD, 366 pages, published by Bryan World Productions, LLC.,
   (December, 2006)
