Poems Inspiried by Night of the Living Dead

Released as a low-budget shocker for drive-ins, Night of Living Dead soon evolved into a subversive midnight movie and now ranks as a classic, giving birth to the zombie genre with its unsettling messages for our society barely holding together at the seams. But Night of the Living Dead remains so powerful by explaining so little. Enter poet Will Nixon to imagine who these zombies are, what they hunger for, and why the goddess Venus should join them naked on the lawn. As Sigmund Freud told us, Thanatos (death) and Eros (the erotic) are the twin forces that propel civilization. Watch Night of the Living Dead set to poems and learn why zombies may be the secret heroes of our time.
