 Poetry In Chicago: Scarce, And Totally Dominated By Liberals - Robert Klein Engler
The politics that takes the place of art and poetry in Chicago is usually the politics of a moribund liberalism and is the result of a half century of Democratic Party rule.
Furthermore, as long as their primary motive is something other than poetry or art, they will never encourage a great, distinctive poetry or art in Chicago, an art that represents the city as a whole instead of this minority group or that one.
Because poetry and art in Chicago is political and parochial, it also becomes propaganda for the moribund liberal state.

 gerard wozek - poetry video
Also known as videopoems, cine-poetry, or poetry films, poetry video unites spoken text (or sometimes text that is written on the screen or text that is simply interpreted by the visual artist) with imagery and music.
A poetry video is an illuminated electronic manuscript that records the voice, the spirit, and vision of the poet, and frames the intersection between visual art and literature.
Poetry video, in its attempts to marry word with image, seeks an alchemy of the two mediums in order to create a leap into an otherness, a reckoning, something that begs to be fully realized.
