Poems About Places
Poems About Places: An In Wisconsin Special originally aired on Wisconsin Public Television in 2007. The series paired a Wisconsin poet with a WPT videographer and brought them to interesting or beautiful places, places that could set a person musing about Wisconsin. The poet wrote to the images captured by the videographer. And the videographer edited to the poet's words. The twining and interplay of these two artists resulted in this collection of visual poetry. You can view the poems separately here, or purchase the collection at wpt.org
