Generation Verb
…is a family of poets, educators, and dreamers committed to helping our youth discover the power of their own voice. We are a collective of innovators in our field and benefactors of the artform who understand the importance and dynamism of performance poetry. We know, by way of experience, that literacy can be exciting, that classrooms can be stages, and that words can change lives.

WRITE | SPEAK | INSPIRE
All students are welcome. We do not expect a general interest but rather plan to open up and introduce the different sectors allowing students to understand the many roads that lead to this art form. It is okay if they do not consider themselves a poet, but there is a storyteller in them all.
They all participate in the oral tradition somehow. Some of them may lead prayer at church, some may have journals or a book of rhymes, even the class clown is a story teller. It is about polishing the sector of storytelling that already lives in them.
