In the very collectable Everyman Library Pocket edition with two pagemarkers, this unique collection of poetic tributes to the silver screen ranges over a full century from B-movies to Bollywood. From the silent film era to the present here are movie stars and bit players, art films and horror flicks, acclaimed directors and popcorn palaces. From Clark Gable to Jean Cocteau, more than a hundred poets riff on their movie memories - John Updike on theatres of his youth, Jack Kerouac and Robert Lowell on Harpo Marx, Sharon Olds on Marilyn Monroe, Louise Erdrich on John Wayne, May Swenson on the James Bond films, Terrance Hayes on early Black cinema, Maxine Kumin on Casablanca, and Richard Wilbur on The Prisoner of Zenda. Orson Welles, Leni Riefenstahl, and Ingmar Bergman share the spotlight with Shirley Temple, King Kong and Carmen Miranda, Ridley Scott, Hitchcock and Bresson. Beautiful design, 255pp. Remainder mark.
