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,
