February 2nd is the birthday of Irish writer James Joyce. To commemorate this date, the Poetry Collection of the University at Buffalo will host the closing event for our current in-house exhibition “James Joyce & His Literary Circles: Paris, Personalities, Presses.” This exhibit is the precursor to the upcoming major exhibition of the Poetry Collection’s holdings of rare Joyce material, “Discovering James Joyce: The University at Buffalo
Collection,” which will premiere at UB’s Anderson Gallery in June.

Please accept this invitation to come and celebrate our exhibit. The event is open to the public, so please share this news with others who may appreciate Joyce. The Poetry Collection Curator Dr. Michael Basinski will host the event and will make remarks. Light refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

When: Monday, February 2, 2009, 3:30-6:30 p.m.
