About Me |
|
| Megan A. Volpert is a performance poet from Chicago who has settled in Atlanta. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Louisiana State University, and currently teaches High School English. From 2002-2006, she performed largely under the pseudonym dr. madelyn hatter, and featured at over fifty venues in more than a dozen states promoting her spoken word CD, no morning after. This self-proclaimed love child of Joan Jett and Tina Fey has shared her witty left-wing banter and moderately obnoxious shenanigans on stage with a wide range of poets: from Bitch, Buddy Wakefield and Collin Kelley, to Laura Mullen, Christian Bök and Andrei Codrescu. Volpert has been in competition at the National Poetry Slam and is a board member of Poetry Atlanta. She published two collections in 2007: face blindness with BlazeVOX Books and a chapbook, domestic transmission, with MetroMania Press. Her other publication credits include columbia poetry review, coconut and MiPOesias Magazine. Rooted in confessionalism and surrealism, her work has a strong interest in the performative and is also influenced by second-generation New York School poetry. |
