Event information

The Poetry Brothel London is back for a new season and for a new magical encounter with the most enthralling, fiery, witty, decadent, romantically-infused and carefree poets in town. This time it's all about mirrors and masks. So, put on the guise of your most poetical self and come be reflected by beauty and dreamy togetherness. Connect and sigh with a mix of carnal and poetical bliss.

Imagine beauty encapsulated in the literary expression of a powerful psyche. Imagine purchasing a portion of a poet's mental anatomy. Imagine being locked in a perfumed room with a spirit and a flesh of your own choosing, jaunting through the alleyways and corridors of an artist's consciousness. Imagine sexiness and poems dancing together like flames with the wind.

The Poetry Brothel is a unique and immersive poetry event that takes poetry away from classrooms, lecture halls and Ivory towers and places it in the lush, radiant and fiery interiors of a bordello. Based on the concept of the fin-de-siecle bordellos in New Orleans and Paris, many of which functioned as safe havens for fledgling, avant-garde artists, The Poetry Brothel presents a rotating cast of "poetry whores" each operating within a carefully constructed character. For a small fee, you can purchase a piece of the "whore's" poetical spirit and absorb yourself in the true nature of one-on-one poetry readings in back rooms and other secret and intimate spaces.

Of course, any true brothel needs a good cover; The Poetry Brothel is an immersive cabaret, offering a full bar, live jazz, burlesque dancers and fortune-tellers, with newly integrated themes, performances and installations at each event.
