In this intimate and unflinching documentary, director David Hamm turns the camera on himself and his partner Delilah Gregg to explore the fragile intersection of creativity and addiction. The film follows the couple as they navigate a world where poetry becomes both a lifeline and a mirror reflecting their struggles with substance use. Hamm, a spoken word artist, finds his voice in verses that grapple with the highs and lows of dependency, while Gregg offers a raw, grounding perspective as both muse and witness to his journey. Over the course of its brief but powerful 22-minute runtime, "Just Poems (About Drugs)" weaves together candid interviews, evocative readings, and quiet domestic moments to create a portrait of two people wrestling with the question of whether art can truly save them. The documentary maintains a stark, observational tone, refusing to romanticize or condemn, instead inviting viewers into a deeply personal space where words are a fragile armor against the chaos of addiction.
