An intimate portrait of the brilliant poet, Ruth Stone--her life and stunning poetry.

Ruth Stone was a promising young poet when her husband suddenly committed suicide. Destitute, with three daughters to support, she traveled the country teaching, but always returned to her farmhouse in Vermont. Using animation by granddaughter Bianca Stone, archival footage, and candid interviews with Ruth, her family, and other poets, the film is an intimate portrait of a great American poet. Ruth Stone's Vast Library of the Female Mind airs Monday, April 10 at  10 p.m. on WXXI-TV.
