Louder Than a Bomb changes lives. Just ask anyone who has participated in the annual five-week youth poetry festival, now in its 19th year.
Breaking down walls and creating a community of poets continues to be a major goal of LTAB, according to Britteney Black Rose Kapri, who runs the LTAB slam poetry competitions: “We hope students, particularly students of marginalized communities, build community with students that they otherwise wouldn’t have access to, because they know their stories matter.”
Wed 2/20-Sun 3/17: various times and locations; see website, 773-486-4331, youngchicagoauthors.org. F
