New imprint – Poem Film Editions & Frame to Frames : Your Eyes Follow bilingual book

I am very proud to announce the launch of Poem Film Editions, an imprint that will celebrate the link between word and image, poetry + film and of course, poetry film.

The first publication will be the bilingual (English and Spanish) book of the Frame to Frames : Your Eyes Follow ekphrastic poetry film screening. It is over 100 pages, full colour, and the  introduction includes a contribution from the author of The Ekphrastic Writer: Creating Art-Influenced Poetry, Fiction and Nonfiction (McFarland, 2020) – American ekphrastic poet and cross-media artist Janee Baugher. The contents comprise poems, film synopses and a QR link to the films.

I am also thrilled to be attending FOTOGENIA this year in Mexico City, and already packing! The book and the imprint will be announced there, alongside the prizewinner, at the Frame to Frames: Your Eyes Follow screening on the 2nd December, at the Complejo Cultural Los Pinos (Calz. del Rey S/N, Bosque de Chapultepec I Secc, Miguel Hidalgo, 11580 Ciudad de México, CDMX). Please come along!! With many thanks to judges Janee Baugher and Mary McDonald. Congratulations to

 I also would like to introduce writer and filmmaker Csilla Toldy as a director of Poem Film alongside myself. I have admired her poetry films and writing for some time and indeed you can find her work in the book/screening. She sends a few words:

‘I am delighted and honoured to be invited to be a director of Poem Films Editions. I wish good sailing to this new publishing endeavour of hybrid books, linking text to film poems. Good Luck!’ Csilla
