Many thanks to Doug Holder for placing a copy of “A Slice of the Bards” with the University of Buffalo Library Special Collections!

Dear Doug,

On behalf of the University at Buffalo Foundation, I personally thank you for donating the following publication to the Poetry Collection:

• A Slice of the Bards by Phillip E. Temples (Wilderness House Press, 2026)

It is a pleasure to add this title to our collection. Please know how much we greatly appreciate your generosity.

Donations such as yours enable us to continue serving as the library of record for twentieth- and twenty-first-century poetry in English. Each year the collection supports with its materials a wide range of scholarly publications, opens its doors to visiting researchers from around the world, and assists the educational activities of undergraduate and graduate students at UB and elsewhere. Furthermore, the collection hosts numerous lectures, conferences, readings, and other events, making it an active research center for the study of modern and contemporary poetry.

With thanks and all best wishes,

Hi Doug,

 

I have received and accessioned A Slice of the Bards, adding it to SC-0256 The Cid Corman Boston Small Poetry Press Archive. Today I found myself taking time to browse through the publication, learning about the history of the Bagel Bards and enjoying the stunning photography.

 

Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts and insights about the group and your work which adds an additional human touch to The Cid Corman Boston Small Poetry Press Archive.

 

Regards,

 

Patty Bruttomesso
