Kyle Schlesinger Lecture Monday October 29:

"Small Press in the Archive" Lecture Series

Please join us this Monday, October 29th for "The Letterpress in the Mimeo Revolution," a lecture by Dr. Kyle Schlesinger. This talk will take place at 12 noon in The Poetry Collection, 420 Capen.

Small Press in the Archive Lecture Series dedicates itself to the study of poetry outside the traditional literary historical plot. The lectures in this series draw on materials in The Poetry Collection, at SUNY Buffalo in order to explore community/discourse formations, the status of ephemera and the making of genre, the conditions of literary production, transatlantic cross-pollinations in and between specific magazines, the careers of poets, the role of book art, and how the little magazine functions in the making of the avant-garde.

This event is funded by the Mildred Lockwood Lacey Fund for Poetry/The Poetry Collection and is free and open to the public.
