Lyrical laundry?

 

 

Doing the laundry has always been a rather unexciting experience. Until now, that is! Instead of burying your head in a book or heading to the nearest coffee shop (or hoping to bump into your soul mate – like in the movies!) to beat the boredom of laundry you can listen to New York writer Emily Rubin. She has organised a series of readings called ‘Dirty Laundry: Loads of Prose,’ at laundromats in New York. She contemplated holding the readings in various neighbourhood venues including shops but said a laundromat seemed ‘a natural fit.’ People can wash their dirty laundry while listening to a poem or short story or just attend the readings. “It was a little strange, it was kind of wild,” said one person who has attended the readings.
