Quarter Life Poetry

Quarter Life Poetry is a project written and created by Samantha Jayne. It began in January 2015 as an Instagram account.[1] where Samantha would write quatrains and draw doodles about her quarter life crisis. Grand Central published her humor book titled [2]Quarter Life Poetry: Poems For The Young, Broke & Hangry in April 2016. The book was later translated into French,[3] German[4] and Chinese and also released in the UK[5]

Four years later, Quarter Life Poetry premiered as a short form dark-comedy series at the Sundance Film Festival[6] where it was critically acclaimed[7][8] and picked up by FX Networks.[9] Each short-form episode focuses on a different anxiety, oftentimes explored through fantastical reality, spoken word, or music.[10] Samantha wrote and starred in each episode, and Arturo Perez Jr. directed all 9 episodes.

The short form series is part of the FXX television series Cake.[11]
