POETRY RESOURCES  

Larger-scale resources for experimental writing

The Electronic Poetry Center is an important site for information on postwar experimental poetry from the 'States. Perhaps the oldest poetry web online, the EPC is maintained by Loss Glazier with the assistance of volunteers from UB's Poetics Program.

UBUWEB
Kenny Goldsmith's UBUWEB is an invaluable resource for alternative poetries, as well as a site of ongoing experimentation with new electronic distribution media. To know it is to live it.

NACIP YORK
Directed by Steve McCaffery, The North American Centre for Interdisciplinary Poetics is a web-based forum for experimental interdisciplinary work art and writing.

FLUXUS
Flux your muscles.

Buffalo Scrapbook

View inside the Cargill grain elevator, one of seven or eight such sites
- relics of a massive environmental engineering project to move grain
from Canada and the midwestern US down the east coast.



A slightly more whimsical take: the logo off the old folding chairs used
at the coop credit union - "Buffalo Party Chairs." The city is chock full
of buffalo and bison references.



Truck spotted just after leaving the U.S., headed for Toronto.
