Joshua De Schutter sees poetry as the foundation of every art form, just words on paper that can make someone feel seen. From feeling lost at 19 to reaching millions, he shares how poetry became a way to articulate emotions people can’t name, why you can only create from what you’ve lived, and how “falling off” early on taught him to separate art from numbers. This is about faith, identity, pressure in your twenties, and learning how to play before trying to win.
