Gotta love HBO for continuing to bring quality to TV. My good friend Rolando hipped me to this a few days ago, a new show their set to launch, Brave New Voices. Check out the info below…

One part Def Poetry Jam and two-parts documentary, Brave New Voices is a new late night series that features the finest young spoken word artists in the country. We ride along as teenage poets from San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, Santa Fe, Honolulu and Ann Arbor prepare to compete in the Brave New Voices National Poetry Slam Finals…

…They left their family, got on a plane, performed in front of a crowd of thousands and found new opportunities for growth and friendship beyond borders.

And one team rose above the rest to become the 2008 National Youth Slam Poetry Champion.

Check out a clip from the show below…

The series begins airing this Sunday @ 11PM EST. You can check out the first episode now, and get more info on the show, here: Brave New Voices On HBO.

Also, Ro: Congrats.
