Dr. Madelyn Hatter (10/14/06)

Dr. Madelyn Hatter is the devious and charming alter ego of Megan Volpert, a queer intellectual stuck in the vulgarity of the Nineties. Raised in the north suburbs of Chicago, she has been writing poetry forever and performing it since 2001. The love child of Joan Jett and Alix Olson, her witty left-wing banter and moderately obnoxious shenanigans have shared the stage with a wide range of poets: from Bitch, Ragan Fox and Buddy Wakefield, to Collin Kelley, Laura Mullen and Andrei Codrescu. The twenty-five year old Libra holds a Master of Fine Arts in poetry and performance studies from Louisiana State University, and lives in Atlanta with her partner, Cowboi Mindy.
