16 April, 2024 Poetry FellowshipsFor more than 30 years, Just Buffalo Literary Center has sent poets, writers, and performers into the schools to excite students and teachers in the practice and exploration of writing. We create the space and flexibility so students can develop their creative and critical abilities with language—to explore their own creativity and become more insightful thinkers.
Professional writers join students in the classroom for custom-designed, theme-based writer residencies, complementing and supporting the school curriculum.
Foster a love of the written word from the inside out by learning how to make a book, from book binding to printing techniques.
Just Buffalo also welcomes schools, educators, organizations, and groups to visit our Writing Center for a custom-designed creative writing experience.
