Inspiration in the Present Tense

To further celebrate National Poetry Month, we’ll share this small portion of Mozart Guerrier’s talk from the TEDxSyracuse University event earlier this week.

The words sound a lot like a love letter written to our city. Hopefully, the video of the entire talk will be available soon.

“Poetry is alive; poetry is important…poetry is not a luxury”
Georgia A. Popoff
Author and poet Georgia A. Popoff was the speaker Thursday night at the new Point of Contact Gallery at the Warehouse.

Author Georgia A. Popoff read and discussed her poetry Thursday night at the new Point of Contact Gallery. She is the workshop coordinator for the Downtown Writers Center.

Point of Contact (Punto de Contacto) is still located on the Connective Corridor,but the gallery has officially moved to the Nancy Cantor Warehouse on West Fayette Street.  The street-level location was buzzing last night for the poetry reading and book fair kick-off.  The audience included students, local authors, artists and SU staff members.

We found the lighting less adequate than the former location (East Genesee Street), but the new space is more inviting and eclectic.

Each Thursday this month, the gallery will host a new writer to celebrate National Poetry Month.

Sometimes the word style just doesn’t give enough description.

We had the pleasure of meeting dapper professor Michael Sickler at a poetry event along the Connective Corridor last night.  He is one of the featured poets who will be presenting at the Downtown Writers Center next week (April 11).
