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.

Author, educator, photographer and performance artist Josefina Baez came to the Point of Contact Gallery on East Genesee Street on Thursday. She read from her acclaimed collection Dominicanish (with a prologue written by SU professor Silvio Torres-Saillant). The reading alternated between Spanish and English and featured themes such as cultural identity and relationships. I don’t wait to be inspired, I just live, Baez told one of the students.
