Kuumba Lynx presents: Half Pint Poetics

In partnership with Chicago Public Schools and Chicago Youth Initiating Change, this annual 8-14 year old poetry slam brings together students, teachers, community members, and university faculty with diverse backgrounds and institutions. This event allows participants to learn and share with one another on social and Eco conscience issues.
The half Pint Poetics have performed at several events and venues including UIC, The kick-off ceremony for the Brave New voices International Poetry slam, and the Life is Living festival at Clarendon Park. For More information about our Half Pints and how to get involved, contact Ms. Jae (773) 550-4229 or email us at kuumbalynx@yahoo.com
