For your viewing pleasure, check out my recently recorded conversation with the director of GIVE ME PITY!, Amanda Kramer. It was such a treat to get so much time with her, during which we talked about her influences, the challenges and anxieties of making outsider art, and about bringing two feature films into the world in the same year. Enjoy!
Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
