They were also creative havens where artists could lower their inhibitions and let their imaginations run free. In that spirit, The Poetry Brothel yanks poetry out of the confines of the classroom, dusts its face with rouge, and accessorizes with a full bar and a sexy mix of live jazz, burlesque dancers, fortune-tellers, and painters—and each branch has its own sultry roster of performers and artists.Each cabaret event immerses audiences in a different theme, but the guiding principle is always the same: the brothels madame presents a rotating cast of male and female poetry whores—each a carefully constructed character with a rich backstory. Throughout the evening, the performers mingle with the crowd, give public readings, and burst into on-the-spot poetry whenever inspiration strikes.
