Summary:
Hear poet Natasha Trethewey and critic-at-large John Powers, on this edition of Fresh Air.
Natasha Tretheway was just awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her third collection of poetry, Native Guard. Trethewey grew up bi-racial in Mississippi, and her mother was murdered by her stepfather. These are recurring themes in her poetry; so is the South. The title of her new collection refers to a regiment of African-American soldiers who fought for the Union in the Civil War. She teaches creative writing at Emory University.
Then, John Powers reviews a new DVD set of two masterpieces by French filmmaker Chris Marker: La Jetee (1962) and Sans Soleil (1984). La Jetee is a science-fiction story set in post-apocalyptic Paris. Except for two seconds of motion, the entire film is done in still photographs. Sans Soleil's narrator tells viewers about the letters she's received from a globetrotting friend; it is accompanied by footage from around the world. Powers says it is filled with brilliant perceptions. [Broadcast Date: July 16, 2007]
