Hey You! C'mere! A Poetry Slam

Hey You! C'mere! A Poetry Slam by Swados, Elizabeth. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780439092579.

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Liz Swados sets the stage for a hilarious, cathartic poetry slam, with casting and sets by Joe Cepeda. One summer morning in the sizzling city, seven kids gather on a street corner to share the power of poetry. As they move through the neighborhood, the kids transform their experiences -- standing up to a tough kid, slurping spaghetti and ice cream, a good "hiccup cough sniff" cry -- into a poetry slam celebrating the strength and energy of their own unique voices. Elizabeth Swados wonderfully aural work is given visual dimension by Joe Cepedas colorful, character-ful paintings. So come along and heed the call: Hey you! CMERE!
