1997 Poetry Contests Announced

The Undergraduate Library announces the 1997 poetry contests sponsored in cooperation with the English Department and the Friends of the University Libraries. Two prizes of $200 each are offered for the best poems submitted by UB students.

This year's Academy of American Poets (AAP) contest commemorates the late John Logan, renowned American poet who taught at UB for two decades and won numerous awards for his published works. The AAP contest is open to both graduate and undergraduate students. The Friends of the University Libraries prize is for undergraduates only.

Entries should consist of one or more typewritten, double-spaced poems, not to exceed a total of six pages. The writer's name should not appear on the poems, but on a cover sheet with the name of the prize and the writer's name, class, address and phone number. Entries should be sent to Margaret R. Wells, director, Undergraduate Library, 107 Capen Hall, North Campus, Buffalo, NY 14260-2200. The deadline is Friday, March 14.

Winners will be notified by April 17 and will be invited to read from their work at a poetry reading to be held on Thursday, April 24, at noon in the Poetry/Rare Books Room of the Libraries, 420 Capen Hall, North Campus.
