About the Author
Megan Volpert is a poet and critic from Chicago who has settled in Decatur, GA, with her wife, Mindy. Volpert holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Louisiana State University, and is a high school English teacher as well as a reviewer for Audible. She is the author of THIS ASSIGNMENT IS SO GAY (Sibling Rivalry Press, 2013), SONICS IN WARHOLIA (Sibling Rivalry Press, 2011), THE DESENSE OF NONFENSE (BlazeVOX [books], 2008) FACE BLINDNESS (BlazeVOX [books], 2007), and Domestic Transmission (MetroMania Press, 2007). This self- proclaimed love child of Joan Jett and Roland Barthes has performed with a wide range of poets, from Christian Bök and Andrei Codrescu to Laura Mullen and Daphne Gottlieb. Volpert has been in competition at the National Poetry Slam, is a board member of Poetry Atlanta and is Co-Director of the Atlanta Queer Literary Festival with Collin Kelley. 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. Volpert is a theory junky and cannot resist rock and roll.
