Synopsis

From Berlin and Vienna in the 1930s; from New York to Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in the '50s, '60s, and '70s; ruth weiss has written, performed, painted, and filmed the fact that for her "one more step west is the sea..." The life of this legendary Beat poet and innovator of Jazz & Poetry is a grand collage that transcends the Beat. She is the cosmic refugee among the ecstatic memories of counter-culture. In his feature-length directorial debut, Beat scholar and award-winning poet Thomas Antonic traces weiss' pioneering art and her world without boundaries.
