ACT 5: Poems about the circus - a unique resource

The Centre for Circus Culture loves supporting fellow artists, writers and poets who have a shared interest in circus.

We’re proud to have been instrumental in reigniting and then encouraging poet Liz Darcy Jones (now Lizzie Leigh)’s love of this art form while she’s penned poetry about circus over the past decade. You can listen to two pieces below.

To know more of Lizzie Leigh’s work, see www.lizzieleigh.xyz . To read a poem by Chris Barltrop, and also to hear some wonderfully poetic words from French circus owner Teddy Seneca to his young audience members, click on our ‘Stories’ link and then ‘This is the place…’.
