Praise for How to Make a Poetry Film

How to Make a Poetry Film is that rare thing in the poetry world: a practical guidebook that also inspires. Helen Dewbery has a wealth of knowledge that she wants to share with poets and filmmakers to help them take their work further. From expressing the nuances of rhythm and cadence in visual beats, to how to find footage to build your films, this book will help you to use your own ideas to create quality poetry films. This is the book that has been missing from the canon of ‘how to’ books in the poetry section. I cannot recommend it enough.
