Literature- Authors

Georgia A. Popoff, of Syracuse, NY, is a “community poet,” expressed as performance poet, educator, editor, and spoken word producer. As a performer, she has toured both the west and east coasts extensively, coupling these efforts with opportunities to teach in schools and provide peer workshops in communities where she reads. Among her past projects as producer, she coordinated the monthly reading series, “Third Thursday Poetry at Pastabilities,” for 2 years; “Poetry at the End” at Happy Endings Cake & Coffeehouse, and was the Syracuse Poetry Slam Master for 2 years. In fall/winter 2000, she coordinated a series, “Sunday Kind of Words,” to feature poets who offered both an afternoon workshop and evening reading to the Central New York writing community. In 2001 – 2002, she coordinated a weekly reading, “Poetry Paradiso,” which continued through Spring 2003 in collaboration with the Downtown Writers Center and the Community Folk Art Center in Syracuse. Georgia has also produced local events in conjunction with two international poetry programs, Poets for Peace International and the United Nation’s sponsored Dialogue among Civilizations through Poetry (www.dialoguepoetry.org), in collaboration with the Everson Museum of Art.
