Max Wilson and Jeff Button want to be poets. Unfortunately, they hate each other, loathe their English department, and lack patience for actual literary success.

Enter Glanceagram—where a moody font, strategic line breaks, and a thirst trap selfie can make anyone a genius.

Suddenly famous and wildly unqualified, Max and Jeff rocket into instapoet stardom, exposing the absurdity of influencer culture one filtered verse at a time. As fame inflates egos and collapses friendships, both learn that going viral is easy—staying human is not.

Instapoet is a biting comedy about fake depth, real insecurity, and the dangerous belief that popularity equals talent.
