A charming woman in her 60s, faced with the discovery of a monstrous family crime, looks for a way to express herself. She finds a voice, strength and purpose when she enrolls in a poetry class, but soon finds another hurdle in her path. "Poetry" is a poignant and masterful study of the subtle empowerment--and moral compass--of an indefatigable older woman, as she deals with the cruel realities bestowed upon her.
