Moira, Mike and Donald TAKE IT OFF
What a momentous evening!
Moira Egan reads her sexy sonnets
strips off her scarf
and earns $45 at auction. A new Burlesque record -- beating Kim Addonizio's $42 thong!
Mike Gubser transforms words
into chords
and unfetters his tie
Tie & book fetch $30
Don Illich dresses for the occasion
and contemplates "making it" with a higher power
Gilda suffers for Don's art -- he makes $25

September's Sexy Shake-Up
A month of unexpected surprises! Moira Egan, Mike Gubser and Donald Illich are taking it off for Lolita and Gilda at Bar Rouge in Washington D.C. Monday, September 25. Reading will begin at 8:00 p.m. in The Dark Room at Bar Rouge.
Moira Egan's first book of poems, Cleave (WWPH, 2004), was nominated for the National Book Award and was a finalist for the ForeWord Book of the Year Award. Recent poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Gargoyle, Notre Dame Review, Poetry, Prairie Schooner, Redivider, 32 Poems, and West Branch, among many others. In Italy, a selection of her poems will appear in translation in Nuovi Argomenti and as a collection in a new series of American poets. Her work is featured in the anthologies Kindled Terraces: American Poets in Greece; Lofty Dogmas: Poets on Poetics; Sex & Chocolate; and The Art of Poetry, which is forthcoming in 2006. Her work has twice been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Two of her Bar Napkin Sonnets won First Place in the Baltimore City Paper Poetry Contest (2005). She has been a Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation Creative Fellow at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and a VCCA International Fellow at the St. James Cavalier Centre for Creativity in Malta. Egan lives in Baltimore, does private manuscript consultations, and teaches poetry workshops at The Writer's Center in Bethesda, MD.

His work will be included in future issues of Passages North, Nimrod, LIT, Xavier Review, failbetter.com, Del Sol Review, and The Sulphur River Literary Review. He received a Prairie Schooner scholarship to the 2006 Nebraska Summer Writer’s Conference. He has written more than 125 love sonnets in bars around the D.C. area, and he will write at least a few more tonight (maybe about you, if you're lucky).

Ravi, Natalie & Fred TAKE IT OFF
It was a hot, steamy evening
Ravi Shankar reads with feeling
and receives assistance shedding his enchanting white tie
Gilda demonstrates its true purpose
The tie earns $24 at auction
Natalie Ilum shakes up the room
and takes off a carnelian necklace
and pulls out a Mothertongue tee shirt
and lotion for enhanced lovemaking!
Lolita can't believe the bargain! This auction garners $18
Lolita introduces Fred Pollack
who shares his tempting Darth Vader verse
and removes a hat he wasn't wearing -- yep, that's right, he's that good
for it was a magical hat and produced $15 at auction
