As readers of the Ink Desk might recall I’ve been involved in a multi-media re-presentation of Francis Thompson’s superb poem, The Hound of Heaven. My own involvement has included the role of consultant and participant in the 30-minute documentary on Thompson’s life, and also as the writer of the introduction to a new published adaptation of the poem. There have also been an animated film of the modern adaptation of the poem and even a new country-style song inspired by the poem.
My ongoing engagement with this exciting project will continue with “An Evening with Francis Thompson” at Aquinas College in Nashville on Tuesday, November 18.
One aspect of the whole project with which I have not been involved is the film version by Brian Oxley and Hisao Kurosowa. Ahead of its premiere at the forthcoming Raindance Film Festival, the trailer has been featured on the Hollywood Reporter website:
