The poets who speak with Bill Moyers about their work and their lives form a dazzlingly diverse chorus of American voices. From Linda McCarriston to Gary Snyder to Adrienne Rich and more, all testify to the clarity of the poet's voice in a culture where language has been corrupted by commerce and politics and all give hope that from such a wide variety of racial, ethnic, and religious threads they might yet weave a new American fabric. "Listen, said the storytellers of old, listen and you shall hear," explains Bill Moyers. The Language of Life is a joyous, life-affirming invitation to listen, learn, and experience poetry's exhilarating power. © and (P)1995 Public Affairs Television, Inc. and David Grubin Productions, Inc.
