Abstract or Description

This look at Jim Jarmusch's poetic film about a bus driver aptly named Paterson after the city he navigates, attempts to connect the poetics of William Carlos Williams with the sense of civic duty that the film embodies. The chapter argues that structurally and poetically, the idea of ephemerality and lyricism is intrinsically tied in the film to ideas of communality and participation.
