Youth Speaks' Brave New Voices College Tour is an amalgam of the
brightest college aged performance poets from the San Francisco Bay.
Between the ages of 18 and 25, each member has gathered attention
in the national arena, from showcases on HBO's Def Poetry, to feature
articles in Teen People and Newsweek. These poets are included in the
tour not only for their acclaim, but for their ability to affect the
frighteningly stagnated political climate. They don't just write. They
push the burgeoning future aesthetics in literature and theatre. The
Brave New Voices College Tour brandishes both Hip Hop sensibility and
immaculate writing. The poets aim to unnerve and electrify college
students ever slanted towards apathy. After all, who's better to
instigate students to movement than a crew of their verbally gifted peers?
