Ron translates Anne Sexton into a cocktail




For Poetry Scores' celebration of Anne Sexton's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" this Friday at Mad Art Gallery, Ron Buechele of Mad Art (and Capitalist Pig) is translating the poem into cocktails. Mad Art's cash bar will be serving five distinct Poison Apples.

We had suggested a Poison Apple pouring station where the patron is asked to "name your poison" to mix with apple juice, but Ron is more deliberate than that (and, he said, lots of alcohol doesn't mix well with apple juice).

So Ron has named your poisons. Five of them:

*

APPLE PIE

Pearl Apple Pie (vodka)
Catdaddy (moonshine)
apple juice

*

CINAMMON APPLE

Pearl Apple Pie
Fireball
apple juice

*

APPLE JACK

Laird's Applejack
apple cider

*

APPLE FRITTER

Three Olives Cake (vodka)
Caramel Vodka
apple juice

*

HONEY APPLE

Jim Beam Honey
apple cider

**

Try all five! As long as you're not driving home.

Poetry Scores also will be serving finger foods as translations from the poem, not to mention Ann Hirschfeld's live musical score of "Snow White," interspersed with 12 women reading the poem, and an art invitational of work based on the poem curated by Heather Corley.
