Poets & Writers Theater

“We are // more vulnerable / by far // than is realized / by even our // least sung, / furthest flung, // and most / compromised.” This Motionpoems short film directed by Calum Macdiarmid features a poem written by Motionpoems founder Todd Boss, the first in a series that specifically speaks to a pandemic-ridden world which was commissioned by the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Center for the Art of Medicine.

Todd Boss reads "Constellations," a poem animated by filmmaker Angella Kassube. The team cofounded the poetry and film collaborative Motionpoems in 2008. An article on Motionpoems by Christie Taylor was featured in the January/February 2014 issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.

“A fabric Titanic on an ocean of air.” This Motionpoem melds “My Love For You Is So Embarrassingly”, a poem by Todd Boss, with the design and animation of Deb Kirkeedie and music of Jesse Marks.

This poem by Todd Boss, read by the author, animated by Tom Jacobsen, with music by Jesse Marks, was produced by Motionpoems.
