Description
Darling Pioneers, at long last The Poetry Brothel is within sight of the pass into your valley. The trail has been so long and so many wide starlit nights have we dreamt of the soft divans of your parlors, the slow rhythm of your rose colored hearts, and the perfect clarity of your north western eyes. We can't wait to play with you Portland, we can't wait to sing you into our dreamscape. Our dancers will delight you, our mystics with mystify you, our band will blow you away, and our poems loves, our poems will seed, and root, and grow in your perfect gardens. Join us for an evening featuring special guests Donald Dunbar, The Hops and Honey String Band, Zora Von Pavonine, Layne Fawkes, Dandy Pie, Steven D. Gillis, and a slew of local poetry whores, along with New York staples, The Madame, Tennessee Pink, Mr. Charley, and Cosette Chapiteau. A seductive scent has entered the air, sweet trail blazers, something wonderful is about to happen.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.
