“The poetry-film is interested in the fine line between text as word or image, spoken voice as words or sounds and the question of whether image or concept come first in a human mind, discussions that were prevalent in 20th century modernist literature and science.”(Fil Ieropoulos, researcher at the University College For The Creative Arts)
Leper Window, St Mary the Virgin is a poem by Jane McKie; it won the inaugural Edwin Morgan International Poetry Competition in 2011 and was praised by the judges as “spare, musical and wonderfully imagined.”
Jane and the composer Luca Nasciuti performed Leper Window, St Mary the Virgin together live at a screening in February 2012 in Edinburgh.
