As a writer, director, producer, and cinematographer, Abigail Child has been recognized as a major and influential practitioner of experimental cinema since the early 1970s. In these essays, Child draws on her career as a practicing poet as well as a filmmaker to explore how these two language systems inform and cross-fertilize her work.

Trade Review
An excellent and distinctive addition to the MCP series.... This book focuses a highly articulate poetic intelligence on a range of topics relevant to film studies and literary writing, and at the same time presents a portfolio of interviews and discussion and script material that charts the trajectory of a significant contemporary experimental filmmaker. - Bruce Andrews, author of Paradise and Method: Poetry and Praxis
