Cinema Stanzas Two: Poet Laureate of the Movies
is a sequel to the award-winning Cinema Stanzas: Rhyming About Movies. This time, film critic Betty Jo Tucker explains how her wish to become the poet laureate of the movies originated, and the book emerges as a kind of audition. This second offering in the series presents over 70 movie reviews/film poems Tucker has written since the first book was published as well as several of her other poems that relate to cinema. She covers films of various genres -- comedy, drama, fantasy, horror/action/sci-fi, musicals, mystery/thriller, and romance. Along with major motion pictures and Oscar® winners like The Shape of Water and Roma, many small independent films -- and even one short movie -- receive Tucker's rhyming treatment. The book is written to serve as a resource for fans of both movies and poetry.
If I get to vote for Poet Laureate of Movies, Betty Jo Tucker is in! --- Artist/Poet/Author Judy Joy Jones
If ever there was a Poet Laureate of the Movies, Betty Jo Tucker should receive that coveted award. --- Grace Blair, Award-winning author of Einstein's Compass: A YA Time Traveler Adventure
Poet Laureate of Movies is a most befitting title for Betty Jo Tucker, beloved by all and humbled by the films and filmmakers that have been memorialized in her poems! --- Gail Parenteau, Producer and Public Relations Strategist
