In Love and Anger: Milton Acorn - Poet
Directed by Kent Martin1984 52m
Milton Acorn left Prince Edward Island in the late 1940s to earn his living as an itinerant carpenter, and wound up in Toronto as one of Canada's most highly regarded poets and one of its most outrageous literary figures. Dubbed "The People's Poet" by fellow poets, he won the Governor General's Literary Award in 1975. Burned out by personal crises, Acorn moved back to Charlottetown in 1981. This film, brings out Acorn's wit, love of nature, unorthodox political views, and sometimes infuriating personal contradictions.
