Created by New York poet Bob Holman in 1987, Poetry Spots was a series of short poetry recitations committed to VHS tape and produced for WNYC-TV. The "non commercial-commercials" were built around a poet performing a single poem in a location of personal or conceptual significance, from tiny kitchens to Coney Island. Active until 1993, the series was the first of its kind and introduced New Yorkers to a wealth of poets in their midst. As the idea of poetry films spread, "Poetry Spots" would become a compendium of filmed poems from across the country. This website is a comprehensive Poetry Spots archive drawn from Holman's digitized tapes.
