Tucker explains that after watching Altman's Gosford Park back in 2002, a poem about the movie came to her when she started to write the review. That poem had the same beat as a tap routine she performed in days of yore. Since then, she's written 70 film poems and incorporated them into her reviews – with enthusiastic feedback from readers. For example, "I always enjoy your reviews, Betty Jo, and now that you are adding poetry, they are enhanced," wrote Ronald Hull, poet and author of The Kaleidoscope Effect.  Cinema Stanzas contains all of these efforts – from such studio bl...

Read more. The desert stretched in all directions, as far as the eye could see. Desolate, barren, beautiful. Nothing was stirring, except for a hawk circling lazily overhead in the waning sunlight. In a blinding instant, that calm was shattered by the light of a thousand suns.  In that moment the universe shifted, both in time and space. Subtly, but measurably, if one knew where and how to look.

So began the atomic age.  And with it a threat to the very existence of the universe. The first atomic bomb created  a tear in the fabric of space and...
