Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of American landscape architecture, was brought to Buffalo in 1868 with a vision to design “a city within a park.” His legacy includes the expansive green necklace of parks and parkways running through the city of Buffalo—a place Olmsted would call the best-planned city in America. In celebration of Buffalo State's "Year of the City" initiative, the Rooftop Poetry Club invites you to learn more about the genius of Olmsted and the poetic nature of public spaces. Join us for poetry in the park. Guest speakers will introduce us to the rich history behind the parks, followed by guided workshop activities led by poets Irene Sipos and Lisa Forrest. 

Our fifth workshop in the series will take place on Friday, November 2, from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. at South Park. Meet at the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, located at 2655 South Park Avenue (admission fee: $7 per student; $8 general public). Limited carpooling from Buffalo State will be available. R.S.V.P. to Lisa Forrest.
