“One thing that we discovered in this project is that even though we’re covering poems that were written about 100 years ago about something that happened 100 years ago, that there are these parallels or threads that relate very much to today,” he said. “One thing that we see over and over with the projects from Manual Cinema is just how much relevancy there is to poems from other times. The one thing we can’t forget is poetry has been around for millennia and so much good poetry survives today because it still speaks to human experience today; there’s things in poems that still inform our life.”
