Iceland Cultural Story: The Poetry Brothel [LISTEN]

Missed out on our final documentary special? Don’t worry, you can hear it all again with encore performances on December 24th and December 31st at 5pm on WCRX-FM 88.1 in Chicago (live stream here). In the meantime, listen to one of the cultural stories produced during our Iceland trip below, check out our daily blogs,  live reviews from the 2017 Iceland Airwaves Music festival and hear our preview interviews we produced before we arrived. 

The Poetry Brothel began in New York nearly 10 years ago, attracting a different sort of poetic crowd with 1920s burlesque wear, live music, tarot readings and its main attraction in one-on-one intimate poetry readings. Reykjavík opened up its first Poetry Brothel, called Rauða skáldahúsið, and it had a different reaction with its connections with the word prostitution.
