Just thirty seconds long, see here what the brilliant Helena Bonham Carter does with that famous poem about plums. Titled ‘This is just to say’, it’s by the American modernist poet, William Carlos Williams. This, along with others that will be released soon, was directed by Paul Weiland during the lockdown summer of 2020, on location in Wiltshire, England for the film A Poem for Every Autumn Day that launched the anthology, A Poem for Every Autumn Day (published by Macmillan). The poem features in Allie Esiri’s bestselling anthology, A Poem for Every Night of the Year, which won the IBW award in 2016.
