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/

<h6>Dead Again 35th Anniversary Screening in 35mm</h6>
Join Hollywood Heights Association on Thursday, April 30th at the Hollywood Legion Theater for a special 35th Anniversary screening of Dead Again in 35mm!&nbsp;
Emma Thompson is suffering from amnesia and Kenneth Brannagh is the PI dedicated to solving the mystery of her past.&nbsp;
Filmmaker Brannagh leaned heavily on elements of noir, including setting Emma Thompson's home at the top of the High Tower elevator - famously the home of detective Phillip Marlowe in Robert Altman's 70s noir The Long Goodbye. But he also brought in into the 90s with new age elements of past life regression and pop psychology.
Come celebrate the High Tower not just as a neighborhood landmark, but as a piece of cinematic history.
Arrive early to have a drink at the Legion's legendary art deco bar!
Trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
PARKING IS VERY LIMITED. We recommend using public transportation (Hollywood/Highland stop on the B line) or Ride share (drop off across the street on Milner). If you require parking, please add parking to your order. Only those who have reserved parking will be allowed to park at the Legion.
