Knew: The Poetic Screenplay

kNew is a hybrid screenplay at the heart of open mic. Like jazz, T.L. Sanders’ spoken word poetry is his affinity for sound. Intense, gripping … . a one-two punch … . written in fire and delivered with thunder, writes reviewer Kelly Luck. These debut poems present Dr. J. Dean, a quiet family man who goes back to Kansas City to mourn the death of a father he hardly knew. The Blue Room holds just another stage where anyone can spit some lyrics. But this night, a new vision awakes when a community grieves a prodigal father. Something new emerges in the hearts of those willing to speak their truth … and just who takes the stage might surprise you.
