New Teen Poetry Series on HBO
HBO just started airing a cool, new documentary series about the hottest teen poets in the country, Brave New Voices. The seven-part series features teenage poets and their mentors from San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, Santa Fe, Ft. Lauderdale, Honolulu, and Ann Arbor as they prepare for Youth Speaks’ 2008 Brave New Voices International Youth Poetry Slam Finals.
From the show description:
These young poets represent a growing national movement featuring thousands of teenagers writing and performing spoken word as a way to have voice in their communities and in the nation as a whole. They present a blend of spoken word, hip-hop, poetry, music, power, voice, imagination, and more. Brave New Voices sheds light onto this largely unseen world, putting an honest spotlight on some of the most dynamic young adults in the country.
Even if you don’t have HBO, you can catch the series premiere online at the Brave New Voices website. It is fantastic…check it out!
