My Life Is Poetry

About This Movie

My Life Is Poetry is this intimate documentary I've come across, centered around a senior LGBTQ poetry workshop in Los Angeles. Directed by someone unknown, it kind of adds an air of mystery to the whole thing. The film captures the culmination event led by Steven Reigns, showcasing not just the poetry, but the vibrant, lived experiences of its participants. There's a raw honesty in the atmosphere, a sense of community that really resonates. The pacing flows like the poetry itself—thoughtful and reflective, allowing you to sit with each piece. The support from the LA Gay and Lesbian Center is palpable, making you feel the importance of these voices being heard. It's a genuine slice of life, portraying a profound history of expression and connection.
