    The dynamic poets from the Philly Youth Poetry Movement (PYPM) share the stage with their heroes from Spoken Soul 215. Mentors like Greg Corbin, Lyrispect and Perry "Vision" DiVirgilio will tell their own poems alongside the teens of PYPM. No judges, no scores—just beautiful and brutally honest lyricism about their lives in the 215 from some of the best and brightest young poets around.
