The Poetry Brothel joins forces with Mass Poetry as part of the Massachusetts Poetry Festival!
The Poetry Brothel is an immersive literary cabaret that fuses poetry, activism, vaudeville, burlesque, circus, live music, visual art, magic, mysticism, and private one-on-one readings. You really have to experience it for yourself, darling!
Featuring Madam Betty BOOM, Izzie Hexxam, Livia Dove, Shego, Holy Crow, Sirena, Lillian Queen, Priscilla Parsley, Kitty Levesque, Temptress of Light, Egbert J. Poindexter, Jezmina von Thiele, and Ainslie Caswell!
Hosted by Mass Poetry, this year’s Festival will feature headline poets Cameron Awkward-Rich, Andrea Cohen, Mahogany L. Browne, Franny Choi, Katie Farris, Kimiko Hahn, Ilya Kaminsky, Matthew Olzmann, January Gill O’Neil, Mosab Abu Toha, and more. The Festival will offer poetry readings, workshops, panels, multi-genre performances, and a special performance by the Boston Typewriter Orchestra and The Poetry Brothel.
Registration is open now at festival.masspoetry.org. Tickets can also be purchased in-person at the Festival headquarters at the Peabody Essex Museum. Your Festival button gets you in free and grants you one token for a poetry reading. Additional tokens for readings and tarot can be purchased at the event, with all money going directly to the artists.
