Final Poetry Project: A stream of images and music to accompany Allan Ginsberg's "A Supermarket in California." (reading is Ginsberg). Kris Elwood, Wilder Welke, Mitch Rennie, Evan Anderson
Ginsberg, a poetic father, I oft am confused as to whether or not the vast majority of his work is verse, taking into account the previous greats. This, my dears is his Divine work, a gift to Whitman fans.
Why not the music? Why not the funny guy in the beard? Any use of images, even a different voice, becomes an interpretation. Sometimes a reader reads better than the poet! And this music does no harm to Ginsberg's voice. You see, guys, not everyone out there is a Ginsberg lover like we are. If we are to present poetry to new audiences, why not be innovative? Or we can continue reading in our little rooms to just each other, and say fuck the rest of the world, these poems and poets are ours.
I wish people would stop adding music to Ginsberg... i hear you tried to be low key with it, and I respect that... but, anyone adding music creates a battle between Ginberg's natural spoken rhythm and musicality... most of the visuals are good, but the guy with the fake beard was pretty funny...
I keep coming back to this video
Every 2 months or so I revisit this and love it anew.

Wonderful job! I usually skip over things like this ... but, wow, well done!
very nice poetical touch, thank you
I like the music on here. Sets a pensive tone, Enthralling is what I would call it
Beautiful.
Thanks a lot! I enjoyed your film and the music:)) But you misspelled the name Allan in the beginning. Thanks again!

The music isn't necessary, but for once it doesn't really detract.

The music "An ugly fact of life" by Explosions in the Sky
What's the music?
