An imaginary biopic, The Body of a Poet centers on the efforts of a
group of young lesbians of color to devise a fitting tribute to one of this
century's great visionaries. Its genre-bending celebration of the life and work
of Audre Lorde, black lesbian poet and political activist, daringly meshes
diverse media conventions and techniques as it explores Lorde's trajectory from
birth to death. Refreshing and visually stunning, this brave film features
assured acting by a dedicated cast and a taut script comprising the work of
contemporary African American lesbian poets.
A Women Make Movies film. 29 minutes.
