Involuntary Vision: After Akira Kurosawa's Dreams

Poetry. "In INVOLUNTARY VISION, eleven Bay Area poets write out of and about Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. The poems they write explore with Kurosawa realtionships, childhood terrors, the seductive nature of death, nuclear annihilation, and environmental pollution. As they do this they maintain an allegiance to the formal and measured dance of thought and word. This is a moving collection that celebrates poetry as an art that is both social and intellectual"--Juliana Spahr.
