Poetry Brothel Monsters

About this event

MONSTERS--- lurking in the shadows, glorified on the silver screen, or created through transgression, our monsters reveal our passions. The Poetry Brothel Boston is the haunted forest of horrors and heroism you need this Spooky Season. Be brave darlings, and you will be rewarded with a unique night of poetry, burlesque, music, pole, drage, mysticism, and MORE. Welcome to a parallel realm where pulp fiction, creature features, cabaret, and poetry collide. This October, The Poetry Brothel Boston invites you into the forest for MONSTERS, an immersive Halloween literary cabaret and film-noir fever dream of things that go bump in the night. The city is crawling with crimson-lipped creatives, lupine lotharios, and vampiric sirens swallowing secrets at the far end of the bar. We can share those secrets, for a price. Throughout the evening, Boston's poets and multidisciplinary artists bring this strange world to life through original poetry, burlesque, drag, tarot, artistry for sale, and live music. Hear poets perform onstage, request a custom typewritten poem, have your fortune read, or meet a featured poet for a personal one-on-one reading in our mysterious back room at the edge of the woods. Do you dare? The question isn't whether monsters are real. It's whether you'll recognize one before it gets too close.
