"All Movies Love the Moon:
Prose Poems on Silent Film"

By Gregory Robinson
Silent films roused words from poet Gregory Robinson, and that prose is now published as "All Movies Love the Moon."  At a launch party at Container Park held Friday, Robinson read passages in between screenings of silent film clips accompanied by a live performance. The writing is not as much as an “ode” to silent films and title cards, Robinson said to the filled room of 35,  but starting points for a range of moods.  The bay windows showed the night slip in, and the wood floors gave full acoustics for the reading, and Elizabeth Marshall, the cellist who found musical nuance in the edits and emotions of the screened clips.
