Maurice Manning, a Transylvania University English professor and Pulitzer Prize nominated poet, is featured in a new film that is part of the “Matter is a Relative Matter” series about significant but off-beat artists and thinkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documentary debuted on the Lush Player<\/a> on Monday, May 6. Click here to view the film.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film profiles Manning as a modern-day Thoreau\u2014taking its inspiration directly from his meditative and transcendent poetry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born-and-raised in rural Kentucky, Manning’s poetry is firmly rooted in the state’s rich folklore and is often inspired by the Appalachian landscape from which he and his immediate forebears were hewn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKentucky is the state that divides the South and the North,” said Manning, who is a writer in residence at Transylvania. “A tight swirl of pain and hope, promise and compromise, it\u2019s a place of profound ambiguity. It so happens that poetry deals in ambiguity, and those of us who write about Kentucky are fortunate because the ambiguity continues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former Guggenheim Fellow, Manning has given poetry readings all over the country\u2014including the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. He has published six books of poetry. His new book, “Railsplitter,” is a collection of poems written in the posthumous voice of Abraham Lincoln. It will be published in mid October by Copper Canyon Press.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documentary explores Manning’s childhood influences, juxtaposing these with the story of his work re-wilding abandoned strip mine sites and the modest 20-acre plot of Kentucky smallholding that he is attempting to return to its virgin state. What ultimately emerges is a manifesto on how to live a life connected with our lived environment that has lessons for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soundtrack boasts music by a host of contemporary Appalachian artists, including The Black Twig Pickers, Sarah Louise, Nathan Salsburg and The Local Honeys. This profile also features the work of environmental initiatives such as Green Forests Work, and explores the mesmerizing Audubon manuscripts held in the Transylvania’s Special Collection Archive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by Tim Plester<\/a> and Rob Curry<\/a>, the film is a follow-up to their recent feature documentary, “The Ballad of Shirley Collins,” which was screened at Transylvania<\/a> this past fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plester first encountered Manning’s poetry while working as an actor on HBO\u2019s aborted historical miniseries, “Lewis & Clark.” Manning\u2019s poetry had been recommended to him by the production’s dialect coach as a means of sourcing an authentic \u201cwilderness\u201d voice, and Plester carried copies of Manning\u2019s books with him on set at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directors Plester and Curry specialize in films that explore roots and heritage, be it through music or folk tradition\u2014examining the role these still play in modern society and identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
