Publisher's Synopsis
COLLEGE COLLIDES WITH THE STREETS...
...and a group of young rebels take poetry for a ride on the wild side.
A story of rebellion against repression of inner creativity that some have called "Live Poets Society". Full of vibrant poems, dance, romance, humor, and a chilling descent into the underground.
Poetry as a performing art in the pre-slam era, a metaphor for young dreamers confronting corruption and strictures on their own sanity.
It's a diverse group of poets: dancer, athlete, nerd, stripper, mohawked punker, and suburban escapees coming to grips with the world that art attempts to depict.
