KNICKS POETRY SLAM - Cryss Kalonjii / WELOVENYC wrote: Catch the show again on MSG Thursday, March 8 at 4pm - http://msgnetwork.com/tv_schedule.jsp The 2006-07 Knicks season marked the fourth annual year of the New York Knicks Poetry Slam program. What began as an intimate gathering of just 20 students at a bookstore in Harlem during the 2003-04 season, Knicks Poetry Slam expanded to over 1,200 young poets and supporters at an open audition at the Garden this past December and brought over 500 people to the Theatre at Madison Square Garden for the Finals in January. The New York Knicks Poetry Slam program utilizes the popularity of hip-hop and poetry to give young people a vehicle to express their thoughts, concerns, passions and dreams through the written and spoken word.
