Cinema Verite is a collection of 46 ekphrastic poems from
award-winning poet, Sam Rasnake. While other poets have explored
the entwined connections of film and poetry, no American poet is
doing so more effectively today than Sam Rasnake. He writes: "Like
the puppeteer's hands/ that refuse to hide or the stir/ of wings...
something/ lets go its darker elegance." But the elusive other in
these poems never goes away; not at all. What is seemingly lost to
the speaker of this and so many other poems in this book appears
luminously on every page, as if projected by the magic lanterns of
old - framed, examined - with each image fully realized. There is
not an outtake, not a single process-shot among the poems in Cinema
Verite. This is the real stuff; the long-rumored master reel -
language from the very heart of things. - Greg Rappleye, author of
A Path Between Houses, winner of the Brittingham Prize, and Figured
Dark, winner of the University of Arkansas Press Poetry Series
