How can you balance preparation and spontaneity in a debate?
The way you balance preparation and spontaneity in a debate is to study your debate material so thoroughly, that your frame of reference is so wide that spontaneity will become low-hanging fruit for you to pick from no matter the subject that's being debated. -Bruce George, Founder of the Genius is Common Movement, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam on HBO.

How can you use theme to elevate your screenplay?
For a screenplay, the theme is the quintessential centerpiece, or glue that ties together the subject and message of your film. The theme teaches the audience important aspects of their lives, socially, interpersonally, politically, and otherwise. Just as writers come from all races and backgrounds, their writings collectively address the human condition of a people. A great theme should always compel the audience to some form of action. A story's theme drives a message home to be acted upon. -Bruce George, Founder of the Genius is Common Movement, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam on HBO.

How can you use symbolism to add meaning to a poem?
You use symbolism as a way to personify a poem like using a rose to symbolize love, or a fist to symbolize activism. Personification is a strong tool of creative writing as long as you strike the right balance between the abstract and concrete. -Bruce George, Founder of the Genius is Common Movement, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam on HBO.

"The Bandana Republic, a Literary Anthology by Gang Members..."
Soft Skull Press
Urban youth gangs are typically viewed as no more than training grounds for thugs and felons. This breakthrough anthology presents a far different picture, revealing present and former gang members’ and street activists’ artistic impulses, emotional sensitivities, political beliefs, and capacities to assess the social conditions that created them. The Bandana Republic contains powerful writing: fiction and essays, poetry, and polemics written by adolescents from gangs like the Crips and Bloods…
Urban youth gangs are typically viewed as no more than training grounds for thugs and felons. This breakthrough anthology presents a far different picture, revealing present and former gang members’ and street activists’ artistic impulses, emotional sensitivities, political beliefs, and capacities to assess the social conditions that created them. The Bandana Republic contains powerful writing: fiction and essays, poetry, and polemics written by adolescents from gangs like the Crips and Bloods and the Mexican Mafia. There's also creative work by ex-gangbangers who have become activists, artists, musicians, and movie stars. J. Sheeler’s Seven Immortals” finds grim poetry in a young girl’s gang initiation. Jaha Zainabu’s The Jungle (Blood Territory)” is a lacerating portrait of an L.A. Blood. Commander’s The Brothas Gunnin’” piercingly profiles a neighborhood and a world under siege. These writings give voice to an American subculture far richer and more complex than the headlines indicate.
