Three Poems by Spoon Jackson

“My name is Spoon Jackson. I’m an actor, poet and writer, perhaps sometimes philosopher. I’m also a human being who did a hurtful deed back in 1977. I’ve been in prison since that time ...” Serving a life sentence in his native United States, Spoon Jackson reads out his poems over a crackling telephone line from jail. Now and again a telephonist cuts in to say how much time is left on his collect call. Filmmaker and composer Michel Wenzer weaves together Spoon Jackson’s verse with music and images.
