Louder Than a Bomb - 2005
By carrying on the rich tradition of oral storytelling and the spoken word, the 2005 Louder Than a Bomb teen poetry slam engaged over 400 youth participants representing over 30 schools and community organizations, hosted by Young Chicago Authors. The eight teams that were invited to the final round, each performing one group piece and two individual pieces, are presented here.
