This year, for me & my colleagues, has, as for most people, been a very inactive one, thanks to Covid 19. Fortunately, in health terms, we’ve survived unscathed, as have most of our friends. The year has, however, seen the deaths of a number of the people I’ve filmed: my good friends Michael McClure & Elaine Feinstein, the poets Joanne Kyger & Diane di Prima & the photographer Elsa Dorfman, whom I met in the context of my work on Robert Creeley.
