The World’s Premier Youth Poetry Event
Brave New Voices is the only festival of its kind. Every year, over 500 young poets and the nation’s leading artists convene in a different U.S. city for four days of arts education, performance, and civic engagement.
Brave New Voices 2022
We are designing a festival that will welcome 25 teams while inviting new and returning partners like Words, Beats, and Life, The Smithsonian’s APA Center, and The Kennedy Center to join us in re-envisioning the signature events that have made BNV a life-changing experience for our young people over the last two decades.

Between My Body & The Air
"Between My Body and the Air" is a collection of poems by young voices from the Bay Area and beyond pushing us to think deeply about our COVID-clad world and the structural violence impacting our communities even before the pandemic hit.
