“Wholly Communion” is a 1966 short documentary film by Peter Whitehead that captures the International Poetry Incarnation, a poetry event held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on June 11, 1965. The film documents poetry readings by Beat poets from the UK and US. It’s considered a cultural landmark of the “Swinging London” era and the first full-scale “happening” in Great Britain.
The International Poetry Incarnation, also known as the “Poetry Olympics,” brought together leading Beat poets in one location.
Peter Whitehead’s “Wholly Communion” is the only surviving footage of this event.
The film provides a valuable record of the cultural scene of the time, capturing the energy and rebellion of the Beat movement.
The film features poetry readings from prominent Beat poets, offering a glimpse into their work and the artistic landscape of the era.
