Join us for a Poetry Brothel Pop-Up Show, where will offer all of our classic literary pleasures at happy hour times (and prices!) <3

The Poetry Brothel will take over the Fiction Bar & Cafe at 308 Hooper St in Brooklyn for a special edition of the Poetry Brothel using ASMR binaural audio technologies to give each and every audience member an intimate phonic experience. Additionally, since this is a Pop Up, consider this show a Poetry Brothel happy hour! We will have reduced ticket and token prices so you can purchase readings to your hearts content.

The Poetry Brothel is an immersive literary cabaret. Inspired by the turn-of-the-century brothels in New Orleans, Paris, and Buenos Aires, many of which functioned as safe spaces where fringe and avant-garde artists could experiment and perform their work, The Poetry Brothel 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, one-on-one poetry readings.

Doors will open at 6:30pm and performances will start at 7:00pm, with one-on-one readings taking place over the entire evening. Enjoy poetry, burlesque, mysticism, tarot, and an overall thrilling time.

The Poetry Brothel is brought to you by The Poetry Society of New YorkPlease also consider making a donation to GLITS, our partner in this event. GLITS is an organization that fights for the health, rights, and safety of transgender sex workers
