A Delightful Video

Many thanks to British film critic and poet Richard Jack Smith for his lovely video celebrating my new book, CINEMA STANZAS TWO: Poet Laureate of the Movies.  What fun to see the opening clips of The Wizard of Oz, Singin’ in the Rain and Les Misérables, three of my favorite musical films!

Next, watching a few lines of my rhymes artistically superimposed over short scenes from four of the movies reviewed in my book (At Eternity’s Gate, La La Land, The Shape of Water, Yesterday) absolutely delighted me.

And I love the graphic images Richard (who also wrote the book’s elegant Foreword) included. They were selected from those that publisher Denise Fitzgerald Cassino created as PR for this ebook.

Last but not least, the background music -- “All I Got” by Ray Smith and Alan Mark -- adds a rhythmic pace to this fun 2-minute video, which is now on YouTube.  Just click on the link below to watch and enjoy!

  • Love the video and the book as well. Thanks again for the honor of having my quote on the cover and including the review of "Two go in...one comes out. A Socumentary."

  • There is nothing better than a new book that revives old memories! Way to Go Memosaic and, of course, Betty Jo Tucker, poet laureate of Hollywood and Beyond.
    Best,
