Step into the smoky saloon that beckons you to a seductive rendezvous in the heart of the wild, wild west.

As the sun sets on the dusty horizon, the atmosphere inside transforms into an intimate haven for lovers and loners alike. Sip on bourbon that burns like a stolen kiss and let the rhythm of the honky-tonk piano stir the yearning in your soul.

The stage is set for a poetic dance of desire, where words become whispers and sentiments turn into a provocative ballet. Sultry poets bare their souls, weaving tales of passion and longing that resonate with the echoes of a bygone era. Each verse, a love letter etched with the ink of desperation, hangs in the air like a secret waiting to be shared.

And then, the poetry of the flesh begins—a tantalizing spectacle that pushes the boundaries of modesty and sets hearts ablaze. Daring performers adorned in lace and leather tease and tantalize, embodying the spirit of the untamed west.

Madam Tallula presents a rotating cast of poets who impart their work as purveyors of private poetry readings in secret, hidden, well-appointed chambers. You may avail yourself of your choice of poet for tokens at any time during the event.
