Award-winning Bob Gossom film closes National Poetry Month and opens Mental Health Awareness Month
Poet and playwright Bob Gossom brings back his acclaimed film Versified! The Human Equation for a limited encore streaming, blending contemporary poetry, motion, music, and storytelling to close National Poetry Month.
The film streams from 3 p.m. PT April 30 to 9 p.m. PT May 3 at bobgossom.com/film-viewing.
Adapted from Gossom’s acclaimed poetry collection The Human Equation, now in its expanded third edition, the production explores vulnerability, humor, contradiction and the shared experiences that connect people across generations and backgrounds.
First staged in Los Angeles, Versified! The Human Equation evolved from a live ensemble production, praised by reviewer Javier Ronceros for its performers who embody “dozens of characters in a dance of the human condition.”
This encore not only marks the shift from National Poetry Month to Mental Health Awareness Month, but also highlights poetry’s ongoing power for reflection and emotional wellness.
“Poetry has always been a place where people can process what they’re going through, often before they have language for it,” Gossom said. “It creates space to reflect and begin to heal.”
Writer, actor and director Levy Lee Simon praised Gossom’s distinctive voice and range.
“His vision and imagery leap from the page into the mind,” Simon said. “Bob has his own style. Versatility is his secret weapon.”
The production has received multiple honors, including Best Adaptation from the SoCal Film Awards in 2025, Best Original Idea from the Top Indie Film Awards in 2026, and Best Ensemble Cast from the Bare Bones International Film Festival in 2026. It also earned nominations for Best Writing and Best Editing.
Gossom is available for interviews, readings, and commentary on poetry’s cultural role and the connection between creative expression and emotional wellness.&nbsp;
Purchase The Human Equation at Amazon, Apple Books, or Barnes &amp; Noble, or here: https://bobgossom.com/books/

Top-Rated Personal Injury Lawyers in Los Angeles

El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers

El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers represents car accident victims across Los Angeles County who have suffered serious injuries and suddenly find themselves up against powerful insurance companies. Founded by trial attorneys Edmond El Dabe and Jonathan Ritter, the firm is known for its trial-ready approach, strategic preparation, and commitment to holding insurance companies accountable. Every case is handled with focus, intention, and the understanding that real people—not claim numbers—are at stake. Our practice focuses on motor vehicle accidents, from car and motorcycle crashes to electric bike injuries, as well as pedestrian accidents, premises liability, and other serious personal injury matters. These cases aren’t treated as files or formulas. They’re treated as personal. Unlike billboard law firms, we make sure every case is handled with focus, intention, and the understanding that behind every claim is a real person whose life has been disrupted and deserves to be taken seriously. El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers is a family-owned, local law firm built on experience, preparation, and results. While our roots are local, our approach is anything but small. Our attorneys bring years of courtroom and litigation experience to every case, with a proven history of securing meaningful outcomes for injured clients. We invite you to explore our recent case results and attorney bios to learn more about the work we do and the standards we hold ourselves to.
