This alternative to standard linear poetry occupies a space between poetry and visual art but some of it — "intermedia" poetry — blurs the distinction between writing, graphic art, video, dance, music, and digital media. The exhibition demonstrates the dramatic shift successive new media have brought to the concepts and definitions of poetry. The exhibition curatorial team (Steve McCaffery, David Gray Chair Professor of Poetry and Letters, UB Department of English; Karen Mac Cormack, adjunct professor of English; and Michael Basinski, Curator of the UB Poetry Collection) seeks to increase awareness of concrete and visual poetry and its ongoing possibilities. An historical range of works by George Herbert, Lewis Carroll, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Barbara Kruger, Henri Chopin, Robert Lax, Dick Higgins, Daniel Spoerri, Alison Knowles, d.a. levy, Bob Cobbing, Siebren Versteeg, bpNichol, Bill Bissett and Guy de Cointet are among the three-hundred plus works on view. A "Digital Poetry" component curated by Loss Pequeño Glazier, Professor, UB Department of Media Study, will be presented in the Second Floor Gallery, Center for the Arts. It brings the traditions of visual poetry into present day digital poetics with an emphasis on sound, video, and language, most often using computer process media practices. These practices include works in a variety of formats such as computer-generated poetry, time-based works, language and video, and digital poetry and dance. This exhibition shows new works alongside rarely exhibited historical works crucial to the field, presenting some of the most highly celebrated digital poets from the United States, Canada, France, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Spain, Austria, Sweden, and Norway. Funding for the exhibition was provided by the UB Art Galleries, David Gray Chair of Poetry & Letters (Steve McCaffery), The James H. McNulty Chair (Dennis Tedlock), The Poetry Collection of the UB Libraries, the Canadian-American Studies Committee at UB, and the Government of Canada. Generous support has also been provided by the Canadian Consulate, Buffalo, NY, Electronic Poetry Center, Department of Media Study, UB, and Gaylord Bros. http://ubtlc.buffalo.edu/workshops/workshop.asp?EventID=1589 EndNote indexes, manages, and formats literature references downloaded from a wide variety of databases, including SciFinder Scholar and Web of Science.

These films helped, to some degree, polarize how depictions of Black masculinity, race, urban space, class, sexuality, and other socialized aspects of identity were portrayed in popular media. These six films are a selection from Fiasco's ingenious lyrics which, in his words, helped "raise a generation". http://medicine.buffalo.edu/news_and_events/upcoming_events/event.html?eventid=24614&eventtype=S The University at Buffalo  (UB) School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
