WINGS (UB's own Campus Wide Information Service) presents the
Electronic Poetry Center, a pioneering effort in the field of poetry
and poetics. The Electronic Poetry Center offers a focused, readily
accessible selection of poetry and poetics materials.
    For example, would you like to read the latest poetry appearing in
RIF/T (UB's own electronic poetry journal) or read poetry from a
number of related electronic poetry journals? How about reading the
latest poetics essays such as "I Don't Take Voice Mail" (Charles
Bernstein) or "Ohio Zen" (Michael Joyce)? You can even check out the
latest reviews of avant-garde poetry in print by looking at selections
appearing in TREE: Taproot Electronic Edition, which includes reviews
of hundreds of works of new literature (often not reviewed elsewhere).
	The Electronic Poetry Center is administered by Kenneth
Sherwood and Loss Glazier, in collaboration with Charles Bernstein of
the UB English Department's Poetics Program. The Center also provides
access to: the Poetics Archive (a library of poetic texts not
available elsewhere on the Internet), a small press alcove, news of
related print sources, and a range of electronic poetry resources on
the Net.
	The Electronic Poetry Center also encourages the UB community
to take advantage of the many poetry-related events on campus. For
example, it lists the following gala poetry readings to dedicate the
new Center for the Arts:
	Oct. 30 - Robert Creeley, Mac Hammond, Carl Dennis
	Nov. 6 - Susan Howe, Charles Bernstein, Dennis Tedlock
	Nov. 13 - Raymond Federman, Irving Feldman, William Sylvester
(All readings are at 3 p.m. in CFA 112.)
