CT National Youth Poetry Slam Team 2006

We're back from Brave New Voices and what a time was had!  For real!  Click here for a few pix!

The room was on fire last night at The Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, CT!  It just keeps getting hotter!  Nine incredible young poets from CT lit the stage at the Team Finals for the CT National Youth Poetry Slam Team 2006.  A standing room only crowd witnessed these gutsy spoken word artists go 'word to word' for 2 rounds.  Applause goes out to all who tried out and all who participated in the finals.

The top 5 poets will represent CT throughout the next year and will be 1 team out of 40 from across the country to participate in Brave New Voices in NYC in April.
