This elegant, silver-covered paperback of 17 of them not only commemorates the work of those poets, it is one of the increasing number of poetry anthologies paying tribute to one elemental fact about Buffalo life since the mid-’60s: that poetics has been one of Buffalo’s most successful native industries and one of its most exportable as well.

This being the second Friday of the month, the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State is open late with a quartet of attractions. 

An industrial center at the terminus of the Erie Canal, Buffalo was never a tourist destination. But it is now growing into one. Proud locals are more than happy to show and tell you about the most surprising, engrossing and delicious aspects of their city...

The Burchfield Penney Art Center will celebrate the 75th birthday of legendary percussionist Jan Williams, one of the most important figures in contemporary music and a former chair of the UB Department of Music, with a special tribute concert.

The exhibition features programs organized by 16 college- and university-based art museums, including the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State, which underscore the breadth and range of art museum education today.

For the first time in more than 60 years, the work of Charles E. Burchfield will be shown at the Chautauqua Institution when The Paintings and Writings of Charles E. Burchfield opens at the Strohl Art Center.
