Poetry Whore on Tour (USA) poetrywhoreontour

Sorry, but you will need the Adobe Flash Player to see this video.

Inspired by Oscar Wilde's visit to America to give speeches on Aestheticism, Timothy Grayson plan to tour the US in October to unite artistic dissidents and instruct them in the teachings of the Brothellian Movement.

As part of this journey, he aims to deliver a series of lectures and informal discussions, as well as interview key members of the established Brothellian order. He will also be selling limited numbers of the Brothellian Manifesto (co-written with Steven Silverman), the definitive guide to Brothelliana.

The purpose of this adventure will be:

I. To bring the discoveries of the English Poetry Brothel to American soil.
II. To interview various cultural activists and establish a network of like-minded individuals on both sides of the Atlantic.
III. To learn how a country's culture can elevate their interpretation of the Brothellian ideology.

If they successfully manage to secure funding, he will be accompanied by Miles Marr of Studio 68, who will be recording their progress with blogs, photographs, interviews and vlogs every day. These will be collated to form the basis of an hour-long documentary to be broadcast shortly after their return.

If you would like to aid them in this cultural quest, there is a list of patron incentives and a link to donate through their blog (listed below). If you do not have the funds but would still like to get involved, please feel free to follow their Tumblr blog or join the Brothellian Movement on Facebook.

Thanks in advance for your support!

It seems that every time a new Swedish crime writer breaks the UK market, they're hailed as the next Steig Larsson. How original.

@JoshPalmerMMA I think that should be a rule of the @tapout tee: if you make someone wearing one tap out, you win the shirt..

@JoshPalmerMMA I asked a tapout tee if he trained last week. His response? "Er, yeah. Can't you tell? Do that cage fighting an' all..."

Just saw a guy almost get hit by an ambulance. That would have been quite ironic.

@YStylianou Excellent, I'll probably see you around then! I spend my time at FD2D offices at the phoenix, unless I'm lecturing, of course!

@YStylianou Sorry, I didn't see this until now! Don't think I'd be able to make today, too busy with work. Thanks for the invite though!

@YStylianou I think the wings are a little off, but I like the composition. If you get a second, could you send a pic of one he's completed?

@YStylianou Wow, and that's by an 11yr old? He certainly has potential.

@YStylianou I was near the back; I'd been staring longingly at the street piece for an hour, on and off!

@YStylianou That was a powerful image! The gentleman who purchased the £38.5k dancer made a wise investment too. They'll only ever go up.

@YStylianou I think I remember the one. Excellent choice. I'm considering that mysterious street scene near the back, before the cubby hole.

What do I mean by 'Craft'? Taught/self-taught ability aka the technical aspect of one's work.

Craft, Talent & Imagination are the three Brothellian tenets of great art. Good artists may utilise two, but great artists harness all three

@stephenfry is also a victim of cameraman love in his docs. Every 2 mins there's a long distance shot of him walking, then a close up smile.

I think the cameraman has a crush on Andrew Graham-Dixon in the Art of Germany doc. Worth a watch, but it's 30% art, 70% AGD's flailing arms
