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/

The FanaticSalon Theater | Culver City Comedy Club

The Scoop: Culver City resident and Moth StorySLAM Champion Miyo is taking over the local stage this May with a weekend of high-energy storytelling and comedy. After her February premiere of "How To Die In Japan" sold out in less than 36 hours, Miyo is bringing the production back to The Fanatic Salon for two encore performances on May 2nd and 3rd.
The Show:
How To Die In Japan is a hilarious and moving dive into the rigid world of Japanese etiquette, family chaos, and the bewildering rules of "passing on." From cultural minefields to side-splitting study of Time, Place, and Occasion (TPO), Miyo contrasts the meticulous customs of her native Japan with the "casual chaos" of American life.
The Experience:
This isn't just a solo show—it’s a multimedia event. Miyo is joined on stage by award-winning composer Michael D. Mortilla (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), whose live original score acts as a second character in the performance.
Tickets &amp; Info:
Seats for the February run went fast, so early booking is highly recommended.
