Well worth getting a hold of for anyone interested in poetry, particularly spoken word and sound poetry. Some of the poets are boring or their poem is just bad. The last half hour was a letdown, yes, even Allen Ginsberg. But the several good performances (Baraka, Adam, Waits, Burroughs, Horsemen, etc.) make it worth your while. Dotting the film are little pieces of interview, mostly with an amusing Bukowski, who complains about other poets but doesn't bother reading anything of his own.
