After a summer of slumber and sexo/poetical procrastination The Poetry Brothel London returns, renewed and reborn, to disentangle your senses and present to you our night of CATHARSIS -the ultimate transformation of apathy to passion and poetry-.
We believe your inner whore can walk into plenitude and joy but first, we must exorcise our demons and ghosts through music and words.
Howl, hiss, sing and scream. Dance, dream, punch and pinch. Do what you have to do but exonerate yourselves from stagnation.
Come and be transformed. Chose your poet/whore wisely as they might be the key to the ultimate "Catharsis."
This time we have chosen the heart of the capital's modish quarter, Hackney and within it, it's most swanky theatre THE HACKNEY EMPIRE, whose bar we are turning into a decadent and fiery poetry brothel. A perfect place to shed your skin but do not be deceived by your surroundings; this is a night to liberate your primordial selves.

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.
