LIT CITY: On The Move is a public art collaboration between Just Buffalo Literary Center and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) that brings poems by local writers to bus shelters, rail stations, and buses throughout the city of Buffalo.
The latest in a series of public art projects by Just Buffalo collectively called LIT CITY, a celebration of Buffalo’s literary legacy, LIT CITY: On the Move joins a growing list of recent LIT CITY projects, including:
- LIT CITY Voices, a series of video poems highlighting local writers
- LIT CITY Sidewalk Poems, the ongoing installation of spray-chalked poems on city sidewalks
- LIT CITY, a series of banners along Buffalo’s Literary Corridor on Washington St. honoring the region’s notable writers
The LIT CITY: On The Move poem installation is currently in progress. If you encounter a poem, share it with @justbuffalolit on social media using #LitCityOnTheMove!
