KNICKS Intensives
MONDAYS thru THURSDAYS Oct & Nov 4 - 6
In every corner of the city young people will be huddled over pen and paper in Urban Word creative writing workshops. In every borough they will score ten, twenty, thirty points at a time as their thoughts enter cleanly into the rims of their newest poem. Participants from each of the 8 sites will receive KNICKS goody bags, tickets to a KNICKS game at Madison Square Garden, and an advantage over the hundreds of others who’ll attend the casting call for the best young poets to be filmed in the pilot for a new teen poetry television show.
