Poetry Brothel: COVEN
The Poetry Brothel is an immersive literary cabaret inside a mysterious bordello
Bring your haunting costumes and occult magic energies to our Poetry Brothel: COVEN show on October 29th at DROM. The Poetry Brothel is a unique and interactive poet-theatrical event that is here to haunt your psyche, channel your fears into fables, and give you an unforgettable Halloween experience. Here, the Madame presents a rotating cast of poets, 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 in intimately curated private rooms. Of course, any true bordello needs a good cover; ours is an literary cabaret featuring burlesque, live music, vaudeville, aerials, visual art, magic, and mysticism. Doors to this event open at 7pm. The show begins promptly at 8pm with public performances taking place between 8pm and 11pm. The Poetry Brothel is brought to you by The Poetry Society of New York, who is hosting an incredible Masquerade Ball on Saturday, October 28th.

About The Poetry Brothel
Welcome to a unique and interactive poetry event that takes poetry outside classrooms and lecture halls and places it in the lush interiors of a bordello. The Madame presents a rotating cast of poets, 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. Of course, any true bordello needs a good cover; ours is an literary cabaret featuring burlesque, live music, vaudeville, aerials, visual art, magic, mysticism, with newly integrated themes, performances and installations at each event. Doors to this event open at 7pm. The show begins promptly at 8pm with public performances taking place between 8pm and 11pm. The Poetry Brothel is brought to you by The Poetry Society of New York Please also consider making a donation to GLITS, our partner in this event, an organization that fights for the health, rights, and safety of transgender sex workers.
