The University Libraries offers exhibitions and special displays throughout our Libraries.
This Poetry Collection exhibition celebrates the life and work of longtime Buffalo poet Robert Creeley (1926-2005), one of America’s leading writers in the second half of the twentieth century, for the 100th anniversary of his birth. Drawing on materials from the Poetry Collection and University Archives, it focuses on Creeley’s poetry and poetics, publishing with Divers Press, editing of the Black Mountain Review and teaching at Black Mountain College, friendship with fellow poet Robert Duncan, and noteworthy moments from his 37 years in Buffalo teaching at UB.
Onward! A Centennial Celebration of Robert Creeley is part of a coordinated Buffalo-wide programming effort that includes the UB Poetics Program, UB Art Galleries, Just Buffalo Literary Center, Black Rock Arts, and Buffalo AKG Art Museum.
Location: Special Collections, 420 Capen Hall, on display through the end of 2026
