The event was hosted by Butler University's MFA program in creative writing, where Akbar was a student. The 2016 edition was headlined by Adrian Matejka, Francine J. Harris, and Wendy Xu. The 2018 headliners were Nicole Sealey, Ross Gay, and Tarfia Faizullah, and in 2019, they were Eduardo C. Corral, Franny Choi, and Hanif Abdurraqib. Akbar has described the carnival as "an opportunity to celebrate poetry in the most effusive, exuberant way possible," saying that it is "meant to show how vibrant and alive and fun and worthy of celebration contemporary poetry is and can be." ==External links==
