Gerald Stern: Still Burning One of our most cherished and engaging poets, Gerald Stern is as much the poet warrior now as when he stunned the poetry world 30 years ago with his book Lucky Life. This 20 minute documentary draws on footage shot in nine locations over the course of a year and is illustrated with materials from Stern's own archives. The program features brief appearances by poets Ross Gay, Edward Hirsch, Thomas Lux, Anne Marie Macari and Heather McHugh, each with a unique perspective on Stern as poet, and friend.
