Poems at Ten Paces. A candlelit poetry slam by Hang Dallas.

Six poets. One bracket. One Laureate.

Where · 2700 SWISS Event Space.

Six poets face off in head to head duels under candlelight. The bracket runs through elimination rounds, a Redemption round gives one poet a second chance, and the audience votes with paddles to crown the night's Laureate. The winner takes home $300.
