If you are a poet and/or the producer of videopoems, I would like to request a viewing copy (VHS, CR-ROM or DVD is fine) along with biographical material on you. If you know of other poets and/or filmmakers producing videopoems / poèmeclips, could you please draw their attention to this project. Please complete this e-mail Submission Form.
