What the night is about

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.

How the night goes

Doors at 6:00 PM. Come early, grab a drink and something to eat, settle in.
We set the bracket around 6:55 PM.
First duel at 7:00 PM. Two poets, one mic, the room votes.
Redemption round near 7:30 PM. One fallen poet gets back in.
The final duel and the crowning of the Laureate around 7:50 PM.
Afterward, stay for a glass of wine with the poets. The best conversations happen then.
