[New-Poetry] Advice -- Film/Lit course w "Poetry" angle

[amy king]

Dear Poets,

I'm teaching a Film/Lit course in the fall and
wonder if anyone can recommend a few good films that offer up poetic
content, to put it vaguely, or a representation of a poet that doesn't
completely romanticize the poet, disintegrating the person in the
process.  For instance, I wouldn't use that Sylvia Plath film that came out a few years ago, starring Gweneth Paltrow.  Anything that incorporates the poet's writing would be wonderful ...

Did anyone see "Before Night Falls" who thinks it's worthwhile?

Thanks,

Amy
