WESAW KENNETH McClane describes his poetry as the reflections of "a city's boy in the woods." "Urban rhythms are very impor- tant to me," remarks McClane, whose Harlem background plays an integral part in his work, although he spent most of his academic and pro- fessional careers in Ithaca, New York at Cornell University. The "pastoral life" of his nearly 20 years in Ithaca has helped him "make sense of" his urban world, McClane says. This setting is distant enough from New York CIty to have allowed him to create a voice for his readers that fulfills a "sense of a poet's responsibility to the world and others." McClane, who has published five works of poetry and several essays and has recently been honored as the Dr. Martin Luther King/Rosa Parks Visiting Scholar Series at Wayne State University in 1987, tries to keep his academic and urban world experiences in perspective. He points to the idea that there exist beyond the academic world "people with more authenticity with ideas that have to be said. People who need to be lis- tened to, need a platform." McClane's soon-to-be-published collection of autobiographical es- says, Walls, attempts to provide such a platform for some of these unheard voices. The "center of every- thing, the hub of the collection," ac- cording to McCLane is his brother, a jazz drummer who committed sui- cide. "It's an attempt to pay homage and in a large sense to understand him," the poet explains, "...Deep down inside him he was filled with an incredible rage...that ultimately killed him. We were brothers, but it was as if we lived in totally different worlds....We would do the same things, and I would get a pat on the back, and he would get arrested." The writer's attempts to explore See McClane, Page 8 expressive film of a dancer perform- ing a routine in a flamboyant dress once worn by Isadora Duncan. Us- ing multiple images and stop action photography adds a new dimension to both the dress and the dance. An untitled film from Kent State concerns the addiction of smokers in a serio-comic way, and includes a not to be misssed bit of commer- cial footage in which Fred and Bar- ney push Winston cigarettes. Then there is Making A Baby, an stop-action animation film in which the natural method of repro- duction is replaced by the assembly of a plastic doll that must first un- defgo some bizarre contortion. These films will be scattered throughout the week's worth of showings, but whether or not you see these particular ones, there will surely be others that capture your interest. As the emcee quipped last year, the Ann Arbor Film Festival is like Michigan weather: if you don't like it, just wait a minute and it will change. With spring just around the corner, the change will surely be for the better, especially because the Fest promises a great selection of films and fun. Tickets for THE ANN ARBOR FILM FEST are $4 for an individ- ual show, $7 for an evening, and $25 for a complete Fest Pass. H ELP WANTED SPRING BREAK! Locabin retreat.
