POETRY IN MOTION PICTURES consists of two shorts, I STOP WRITING THE POEM and WALL, based on works from the Poetry Society of America's Poetry in Motion project. The former, a two-minute piece by Veena Sud, was inspired by the Tess Gallagher poem of the same title. Conveying the complexity of love, loss, and memory through the seemingly mundane task of hanging laundry on a clothesline, I STOP WRITING THE POEM links a simple gesture to a woman's recollections of the promises she made to herself as a young girl. Jodi Kaplan created WALL as an interpretation of a Gabriela Mistra poem. The filmmaker uses the "wall" to represent the division between this world and the next, and the strained relationship between the poet and the poet's lover after the suicide of a close friend.
