Description
Will Thorne is a poet whose career has stalled. His wife, a celebrity economist, doesn't understand his art. When a fellow poet pushes him, Will starts an organization to help poets. But to get funding, he must make a deal with his wife: write advertising slogans. His days become filled with toilet paper jingles and administrative work. Inspiration for his own poetry vanishes. Then he meets Lily White, a muse who ignites his passion. Suddenly, Will is inspired not just to write, but to take guerrilla action. Poetry clashes with parkour. Culture confronts commerce. This is a hilarious look at the value of art.
