Atwood Stories on DVD
Richard, an English literature major and would-be poet in his early twenties, is entranced by Selena, a talented and exotic young poet who is clearly the real thing. But when she criticizes his poetry and rejects him romantically, Richard falls into the arms of a practical librarian, Mary Jo. Richard gains a wife and child, but relinquishes his dream of becoming a poet, along with his will to do just about anything else. Years later, a chance encounter with Selena pushes Richard’s marriage to its inevitable demise. And still later, news of Selena’s premature death galvanizes Richard into the fevered work that will become a celebration of Selena’s life and poetry. |
