IF THE POET is the moving, irreverent and inspiring story of Ian French, aka "IF", beginning with his "terrifying" slam debut at age of 50 and culminating in his obsessed quest to win the World Cup of Slam Poetry in Paris, France.
It is also the touching story of the unlikely relationship between 54-year-old IF and his poetic coach and mentor, the renowned 29-year-old Ghanaian-Canadian poet and recording artist Ian Keteku, who IF calls “Canada’s greatest living poet”.
