Memorial service

Oct. 19 to remember Mac Hammond

Poet and UB English Professor Emeritus Mac S. Hammond, who died on July 9 at the age of 71, will be remembered by Buffalo's literary community at a memorial service to be held Sunday, Oct. 19, at 2 p.m. in the Penney Burchfield Arts Center, Buffalo State College

Hammond began his career at UB in 1963 and became a full professor in 1969. During his tenure, he served as master of Cassirer College, one of UB's experimental colleges of the 1960s that offered an alternative to the traditional educational experience. He also directed UB's graduate program in creative writing. The author of four volumes of poetry, he is described by his colleague, poet Carl Dennis, as "a mixture of romantic hoping and very down-to-earth concreteness. He was very much his own man."
