Watch Voices Visions online: Episode 2 Hart Crane

This film, narrated by Jose Ferrer, profiles the life of American poet Hart Crane. Born on July 29, 1899, Crane was a mystic who perceived the dark side of the Industrial Revolution. He voiced his sentiments in two volumes of poetry published during his lifetime: The Bridge and White Buildings. Crane's personal life, known for its debauchery, was chronicled in his works. He took his own life when he jumped from a steamer returning from Mexico, where he was a Guggenheim Fellow. Fellow artists Malcolm Cowley and Peggy Cowley describe their final moments with Crane before he jumped. He was 33 when he died. Interviews, film clips, and photographs illustrate the video.
