A poetry slam with a twist, Poetry Idol will pit the performers against each other under the watchful eye of three celebrity judges. After each round the judges will offer advice to the budding bards as to how to improve for their next round but those who do not make the grade will be eliminated along the way.
In the end two poets will face off for a final and the audience will cast the deciding votes.
Hosted by one of New Zealand’s leading performance poets, Penny Ashton, Hamilton’s first ever Poetry Idol promises to be a sizzling night of live literature.
