Description
Peueõs gatos!!! The Poetry Brothel is once again upon us this November, and the whores of the Brothel hope to dance into your souls and discover what it is exactly that moves you, darlings. With our hearts filled to over-flowing with Duende, we are reaching out again out to you this month with the spirit of evocation, with the song of love and lust, and the dance of decadence, our heels stomping the floor boards like bulls and our skirts spinning like Matadors. This month will feature special guest readers Nick Flynn and Patricia Spears Jones, flamenco band and dancer, Talisman and Xianix, and burlesque beauty Calamity Chang! Dears, we have missed you, and even as our house has filled with the tiny goblins of Duende, we can hear her doors and windows creaking and calling out for your gaze and your touch. Don’t you know it is your love that gives this house her chills, her shutters of glee? Come, little lambs, the Brothel is crying with guitars on fire, and the winter is fast approaching. Let us leave you with an extra drop of heat--these days, we're rotten with it.ABOUT THE POETRY BROTHEL:The Poetry Brothel is a unique and immersive poetry event that takes poetry outside classrooms and lecture halls and places it in the lush interiors of a bordello. The Poetry Brothel presents a rotating cast of both male and female poets as “whores,” each operating within a carefully crafted character, who impart their work in public readings, spontaneous eruptions of poetry, and most distinctly, as purveyors of private poetry readings on beds, chaise lounges and in private rooms. For a small fee, all of the “poetry whores” are available for these sequestered readings at any time during the event. Of course, any true brothel need a good cover; The Poetry Brothel’s is an immersive cabaret, offering a full bar, musicians, burlesque dancers, painters, actors, and fortune-tellers, with newly integrated themes, performances and installations at each event.
