RUSTIC. SLEEK. SPARKLING.

Join Cavalier Literary Couture for a Dance Party at Aspen Social Club!

This is an awesome opportunity to mingle with the hottest emerging writers in New York today. We welcome all students who are interested in applying for an editorial internship to come see what we're about.

If you're going out this Friday, you might as well stop by. We're in the heart of Times Square and you get to take home a full-color tabletop book showcasing the finest literary and artistic voices in America. All for the cost of a typical night out.

Standard cover charge for the venue (typically ranges from $10 to $20 depending on gender and time of arrival :-)) includes a FREE copy of our inaugural print issue which will be sold in bookstores nationwide for $10 each.

RSVP on facebook or text 518.429.3805 with name and # of guests to get on our list.

For those who don't know about it:

"In the years since it opened in 1993, KGB has become something of a New York literary institution. Writers hooked up in the publishing world read here with pleasure and without pay to an adoring public over drinks almost every Sunday evening (fiction), Monday evening (poetry), and most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The crowd loves it. Admission is free, drinks are cheap and strong, and the level of excellence is such that KGB has been named best literary venue in New York City by New York Magazine, the Village Voice, and everyone else who bestows these awards of recognition."    (from website)


For more about The Poetry Brothel:

"The cornerstone of The Poetry Brothel is its event series. A new and dreamlike twist on a poetry reading, The Poetry Brothel is foremost interested in showcasing a diverse roster of emerging and established poets. However, our events are also interactive performance art pieces based on the concept of the prewar brothels in the United States and Europe. Each night The Madame presents a rotating cast of both male and female poets engaged in a night of literary debauchery and private poetry readings. The poets act as "whores," making audience members "johns," but instead of physical intimacy, the poets offer the intimacy of their poetry in private, one-on-one readings. For a small fee, all of the resident "whores" are available for these sequestered readings at any time during the event. Of course, any good brothel need a furtive "front" or cover; ours is part saloon and part salon, offering a full bar with absinthe, live music, live painting, fortune-tellers, gypsies, and gamblers with newly integrated performances and installations from our poets and other artists at each event. Each night The Madame and Tennessee Pink also introduce the "new girl," a featured reader who punctuates the evening with a few special public performances."    (from website)
