Before we launch the next chapter of Poet Life Unscripted, we want everyone to understand where this started. The pilot season follows poet Piere Ingram not at the finish line, but in the middle. No scripts. No polish. No pretending. Just real life, real pressure, real decisions, and real growth. This season documents what it looks like when a poet is: - navigating uncertainty - learning how opportunity works - being coached in real time - figuring things out while life is happening This is the DNA of Unscripted. 🔥 WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW As Poet Life Unscripted becomes the first official production under our new media company, this pilot season is your foundation. It shows: - what we mean by process over polish - how stories are chosen - what “ready” actually looks like - why this series is different from anything else in the poetry space If you want to be part of what’s coming next—watch what came first. 🍿 WHAT TO DO Set aside time. Watch with intention. Pay attention to the moments between the wins. 👉 Binge the full pilot season here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_hbC2QAqWXDJpsnCVXmBwQ3FboGR3ybj&si=X2Iac4G4GiSAUSxX 👀 FINAL WORD This isn’t just content.
