This compilation of performance videos and interview clips, by and about poet Chasen Gaver, is an interesting and offbeat look at the way one man gets his artistic and social messages across. Using a combination of Motown and punk rock, everyday props and precisely orchestrated delivery, Chasen has fun (often biting fun) with humankind's foibles in: "The Boat", "Do You Feel Fat?", "Fresh Out of Ideas", and, in front of a young audience, "Political Climate"-in which he demonstrates to students how weather can be used as a metaphor for nuclear weaponry. For this kind of video, the price is exceptionally low, and we highly recommend it for public and school library collections.
