Share Your Remembrance of Robert Creeley

Buffalo was not just where Bob lived, but where he listened, taught, walked, and wrote in company with a community that continues.

In honor of this momentous occasion, we invite you to share your memories & tributes—the Creeley poem that changed you, that time you’ll always remember.

Through this community remembrance project, your words will join others across time & place to honor the life he lived here, among us. These offerings will be shared digitally as part of the Creeley Centenary celebrations.
