The Poetry Brothel's Blurbs |
About me:
The Poetry Brothel is the first event of its kind to seduce New York City. A new and dreamlike twist on a poetry reading, The Poetry Brothel is foremost interested in the presentation of excellent, original literature. However, it is also an interactive installation/performance art piece based on the concept of a brothel. The "Madame" presents a rotating cast of this city's finest poets engaged in a night of surreal happenings, literary debauchery and private poetry readings. Here's how it works: The poets play "whores," visitors play "customers," but instead of physical intimacy, the poets offer the intimacy of their poetry by giving private, one-on-one readings in sectioned-off areas. All of the resident "whores" are available for private readings at any time during the event. Of course, every good brothel needs a furtive "front" or cover business; ours is part saloon and part salon, offering a full bar, blackjack table, live portrait painting, exhibited artwork, tarot card readings, and live music, with performances from our poets, performers, and artists throughout the night. Each night the Madame will also introduce "the new girl," a featured reader who will delight the whole cast and cast of customers with a very special public performance.
The next Poetry Brothel will be held on July 25th from 9pm-2am at Papa B Studios (907 Broadway @ Arion Place, Brooklyn) with featured reader Tao Lin.

Who I'd like to meet:
Lovers, lusters, gypsies, poets, seductresses of the night; dreamers, voyeurs, a chanteuse extaordinaire; hedonists, exhibitionists, artists who have not misplaced their souls; lost souls, witches, goblins, ghosts and gamblers; vagrants, vandals, wandering musicians, a suit and tie, a lace ruffle, a cuban cigar, a french inhale; the dodgy and debonair, the classy and covert, performers of any sort, oh, and that little taste of the Orphic in us all.
The Poetry Brothel will be performing at next month's Mermaid Parade at Coney Island. Any artists, designers or poetry-loving carpenters that would like to get involved in creating the float, we would love to hear from you!
