Frostburg Center for Creative Writing

Since the 1980s George has used his limited musical training and love of music to shape his poetry, fiction and criticism, the last of which includes an article published in 2005 in The Journal of Popular Culture, "Las Vegas Jubilee: Louis Prima's 1950s Stage Show as Multicultural Pageant"; articles on the use of music in the poetry of Ezra Pound, Amiri Baraka, and Haki Madhubuti, and numerous book reviews in a variety of literary journals. He is currently working on a novel in which nineteenth-century American folk music figures prominently, and researching the lives and music of Sam Cooke, Giuseppe Verdi, and Bolivian charanguistas, for future projects.
