Poetics Plus Presents: Poet Tyrone Williams

Tyrone Williams read here for Just Buffalo less than a year ago, yet there is such a buzz surrounding his work that the UB Poetics Program decided to invite him back. Williams has been writing poetry from his post as an English professor at Xavier in Cincinnati for nearly thirty years, but it wasn’t until 2002 that he published his first full-length collection of poems, c.c., with Krupskaya. Word of his challenging, provocative, experimental work has been vibrating throughout the national poetry community ever since. Omnidawn published his second collection, On Spec, last year and he has a third collection due out soon from Lyn Hejinian’s Atelos.
