Short - Based on a true story, Jimmy, an aspiring writer and his cousin Nicky, a neighborhood miscreant suspected of murder, face each other and the truth on the mean streets of the Bronx in this gritty tale of trust and betrayal. What would you do if you had to make a choice between seeing and believing when the absolute truth lay just beyond your grasp? 'Poetry Man' is about the redemptive power of art when everything else fails you. - Joseph Diaz, Jon McCormick, Paige McSherry
