Brooklyn Literary Mash-Up

The Brooklyn Literary Mash-Up celebrates the multifarious literary voices of Brooklyn over the past 150 years, mixing excerpts of work from classic writers like Walt Whitman to contemporary voices such as Touré. Members of the new Brooklyn International Theater company use music, projected images, spoken word, and movement to bring these glittering words to life. Curated and directed by Brooklyn filmmaker Nelson George with Def Poetry Jam co-producer Danny Simmons, the Brooklyn Literary Mash-Up is a honeyed, cynical, and humorous tribute to Kings County.
