more poetry on film

Here’s another one for the poetry on film file. The film Maya Dardel “depicts the final weeks leading to the ambiguous disappearance of Maya Dardel, an internationally respected poet and novelist, who lived until 2016 in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. Dardel announces on National Public Radio that she intends to end her life and that young male writers may compete to become the executor of her estate. They are challenged intellectually, emotionally, and erotically, until one of them begins to fathom Maya’s end game.”
