Flip out the metro-card, it's time to roll out to Brooklyn. If you are luck to live in Brooklyn, take a bow and still use that Metro-card because it's time to hear the truth which is being spoken at BAM.

Poetry 2015: Speaking Truth at BAM, is a hugely popular poetry showcase. The evening is filled with dynamic interdisciplinary performances by spoken word artists, rappers, and musicians. 

That includes nationally recognized performers, along with two selected students from the BAM Brooklyn Reads residency program will explore the theme of Speaking Truth, directed by Baba Israel. 

This year’s showcase is full of talent, including the poets muMs, Kelly Zen- Yie Tsai, the 2014 Nuyorican Poets Cafe Slam Team, and Najee Omar, with music performances by Yako440, and Brooklyn’s own DJ Reborn.

 The winners from BAM Education’s poetry residency, Brooklyn Reads, and have been selected through an online voting process to perform in this annual main stage show.

They have been chosen out of 500 high school participants to present their work alongside the professional artists in Poetry 2015: Keisie Barzola,(12th grade,) West Brooklyn Community High School, and Kirkland DeBrosse (12th grade,) Cultural Academy for the Arts & Science
