Christina Wos Donnelly | Poetry
The goal of this section is to bring a feel for the many poetic voices that occur in and around Buffalo, New York. It is also a wonderful way for me present the work of dear friends. I have met with Christina over poetry for years now. She entrusted me with her poems in my first publishing venture at Daemen College. I have learned a great many things from her, especially the many ways in which one can approach an idea in poetry. [read more ...]

Richard
Owens | Poetry
It is my great honor to introduce Richard Owen for Buffalo FOCUS.
Each issue we focus in on a particular writer from our hometown
of Buffalo, NY. Richard is studying Poetics at the University
of Buffalo and is editor of Damn the Caesars, an annual poetry
journal. I was fortunate to read with Richard in a dirty attic

Florine
Melnyk | Poetry
This is a real treat for me to bring into focus Florine Melnyk’s
work. She is a major force in Buffalo’s small press publishing
community. Her behind-the-scene’s work can be found in her
editing and selecting for Starcherone Books, Jonathan Skinner’s
Ecopoetics, and currently as poetry editor for Buffalo’s
weekly art journal, Artvoice. Her keen eye has been a real success
for publishing but we seldom see much of her own work. And it
is that very keen eye that is the focal point of her poetry. Here
the poet offers us that futile search, that ‘looking for
a reason’ that is not found in poems, but in life. This
is her first appearance in BlazeVOX and so we are offering a gallery
of her poetry for you to enjoy.
