Empty Tent Circus to promote non-competitive atmosphere at poetry share this evening

Jarrae Newell March 27, 2018
Typically, around 35 people are in attendance at the Blue Door each time the Empty Tent Circus host a poetry share. They have hosted two in the past, their first being held on February 21 and their second on March 7. Therefore, this will be their third. There will be 8 or more performers at the event, performances are structured by the poet’s level of experience. It is an open and welcoming event, there is no overall theme that needs to be included in the poems, however no hate talk will be allowed.
