Hilarious and informative. Poets are asked to write on a specific (random) topic. They are given fifteen minutes to write and edit the piece. The creative process can then be "watched" in sped-up time as lines are written and re-written, words added and deleted, meaning created. A great glimpse into an artist's mind.
