Black Mountain Blues

No ratings yet

Colin Still's BLACK MOUNTAIN BLUES invites Robert Creeley to reflect on his life and work with patience and unobtrusive guidance. The film provides an invaluable view of Creeley in the last years of his life, with commentary from Charles Bernstein and Susan Howe, two of Creeley's closest colleagues, and from poet, musician, artist, and teacher Bobbie Louise Hawkins, who was married to Creeley for nearly 20 years. Vincent Ferini figures prominently, having put Olson in touch with Robert Creeley, shaping midcentury American writing.
