The Literary Buffalo Calendar is a clearinghouse of information regarding local poetry and fiction readings, scholarly literary conferences, writing workshops and festivals. We aim to inform the public about as many literary events in Buffalo as possible, and in as timely a manner as possible, thereby drawing greater numbers to goings-on and spawning an even more cohesive and supportive literary community.
