After listening to the young poets from Georgia State University and one high school senior, I find them to be similar to the artists of the Harlem Renaissance; however, the difference is each generation are expressing their thoughts of issues/concerns regarding elements of society that affects them currently. These young poets were very passionate and electric. Among the group of five, one will publish their first book around September 2008. And most importantly, this was the first time NBAF hosted a young poets events and these youths truly have set a high bar.
