A poem by ee cummings I read during the Garden Party to wide critical acclaim.goodby Betty,don’t remember me pencil your eyes dear and have a good time with the tall tight boys at Tabari’ s,keep your teeth snowy, stick to beer and lime, wear dark,and where your meeting breasts are round have roses darling,it’s all i ask of you— but that when light fails and this sweet profound Paris moves with lovers,two and two bound for themselves,when passionately dusk brings softly down the perfume of the world (and just as smaller stars begin to husk heaven)you,you exactly paled and curled with mystic lips take twilight where i know: proving to Death that Love is so and so.
The Poetry Brothel is an organization of poets and artists, directed by The Madame and Tennessee Pink, whose mission is to expand New Yorkers' personal, intellectual and fiscal interest in poetry through events, workshops and other projects. Intimacy, community, passion, service and transformation of environment and self are the guiding principles behind The Poetry Brothel. With these principles in mind, The Poetry Brothel creates worlds in which poets and non-poets can better come together to celebrate the pleasures of poetry.
