Period Poetry Slam @ Shambala Festival 🎤
Whatever your experience, style or gender identity; whether you’re a regular poet laureate or you’ve never read a poem aloud before, everyone is welcome to sign up.
Poems related to periods, perimenopause, menopause and associated topics are encouraged. However, feel free to interpret this as you wish. If you have something to say, this is your space to say it, so please don’t worry about your words being off-topic – there’s no such thing!
Each poet will have a maximum of 4 minutes to perform. (If we have lots of people wanting to take part and you run over, you may be asked to stop to allow enough time for everyone to share. If there’s time at the end, you’ll be very welcome to perform again.)
PS. It’s called a Period Poetry ‘Slam’ because it has a nice ring to it (much catchier than ‘Spoken-Word-Poetry-Open-Mic-Related-to-Periods-Menopause-Perimenopause-etc’), but don’t worry, it’s not competitive, and there’s no scoring.
