What is as immortal as loneliness? Towards The Completion of a Poem follows the trajectory of YANG Mu's life, embarking on the exploration of a remarkable literary journey through the sounds of his poetic recitations and the images of his writings. The film tracks YANG Mu from his humble beginnings as a hesitant student at National Hualien Senior High School in eastern Taiwan, to his experiences of learning and debating by Dadu Mountain in Taichung and studying Old English in Iowa, before moving to Seattle’s Gold Coast as he continues to experiment with absorbing Western, Chinese and Taiwanese cultural resources and knowledge into his literary works.
The sounds and images of YANG Mu’s recitations allow the audience experience the joy of poetry through their own eyes and ears, giving them a deeper appreciation of the emotions behind the words and a clearer understanding of the man who wrote them.
