Electronic Poetry CenterDepartment of Media Study/Poetics Program, SUNY BuffaloThe EPC itself makes extensive resources available through its E-Poetry and Author libraries. These libraries provide curated lists of resources on a focused range of authors for personal use, research, and teaching. Additionally, the EPC curates lists of links to similar digital and literary projects, related book publishers, literary magazines, and other resources. In addition the EPC offers substantial sound resources that will not be found elsewhere. These include the vast resources of the UBU-EPC MP3 library and the award-winning interview and performances series of LINEbreak. The EPC has been favorably reviewed in The Chronicle of Higher Education and The Times Literary Supplement, among other publications, for its breadth of vision, number of resources, and focus on innovative media poetics in the digital age. It was also the sponsor of the first-ever digital poetry festival, E-Poetry 2001, held in Buffalo in April, 2001. In addition to the vast number of works the it makes available, the EPC offers the innovation of providing a curated collection of primary literary texts. Accordingly, texts housed at the Electronic Poetry Center are "definitive" texts as each has been approved by its producers. In addition, through OCLC's U.S. Department of Education-funded project CIRG (Cataloging Internet Resources Group), and the initiative of the University at Buffalo's University Libraries, selected texts are catalogued and made available worldwide through major bibliographic databases. Loss Pequeño Glazier is Director & Founder of the EPC; Charles Bernstein is Executive Editor. The EPC is a collaborative effort between the Department
of Media Study and the Department of English's
Poetics Program, College
of Arts & Sciences, University at Buffalo. |
