Logline:

Our interest in storytelling leads us to the poetry about love – what moves the heart to action – to a kiss, to connectedness. The thoughts that lead to demonstrative actions. The love poems that lead to universal feelings, which upon hearing, can piece together our thoughts and desire – to love.

Synopsis:

An ongoing series of individual love poems read by luminaries, Poet, Poet is an introspective love letter to the world. It will give a voice to what connects us even in the face of overwhelming world events.

Poet, Poet will explore the idea that the human will to love is more powerful than any force that argues otherwise. It will set us deeply in the angst and vernacular of the day and respond with compassion – a respite from the storm. It will bring poetry that moves the heart to action – to kiss, to touch, to connect. The thoughts that lead to demonstrative actions. The love poems that appeal to our collective soul, which can bring together our purpose and desire to love.

Love poems read by luminaries – beacons in their field – reading classic and contemporary love poems. Poet,Poet is a simple idea that can be summarized so beautifully by Pablo Neruda, “If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life.”
