Poetry Brothel

Literary Debauchery

Recommended by Claire Valley

If a Madame is what your poetry has been missing, swing by the opulent House of Blues Foundation Room for a night with the Poetry Brothel. As a participant in this "dreamlike twist" of a poetry reading, you will take on the identity of a "John." During the evening's festivities, the Madame will trot out male and female poets who function not as eye candy, but poetry offerings.

Insider Info: If you are feeling like a big spender, you can pay for an intimate one-on-one reading. Foundation Room drinks are expensive (absinthe is an option), so you might want to pre-game prior to donning your corset and heading out. $5 off admission if you have a Poetry Brothel flier and free admission to Foundation members.
