- Title
"Not to Creation or Destruction but to Truth": Robert Duncan, Kenneth Anger, and the Conversation between Film and Poetry.
- Authors
Kane, Daniel
- Abstract
This essay presents an intertextual study of the poet Robert Duncan and the filmmaker Kenneth Anger. It demonstrates that Duncan found in the seriality of Anger's avant-garde films a way out of oppressive binaries of good and evil. Duncan has written that Anger's film has corrupted his actors in reaching out to disturb the centers of life. The author observes that Anger's role as a pioneer in depicting homosexual desire through a ceremonial form may have partly influenced Duncan's interest in the mechanisms of cinema.
