WORDFLIGHT at RED DOORS was a literary reading series,no longer extant. It presented local and regional WNY writers, primarily poets.
The GRAY HAIR series spotlighted local or regional writers who have long contributed to the literary life of the Buffalo or WNY area -- writers of, or over, a certain age. The programs were held at Hallwalls Cinema Room, 341 Delaware Avenue, on the second Wednesday of most months (except July and August) at 7:30 p.m.
The series was created by ryki zuckerman for Earth's Daughters Magazine/ Collective in 2006. ryki coined the series' name, a pun on UB's (David) Gray Chair which endowed UB's Poetics Program, both as nod to the program's "avant garde isolationism" (quote: Mike Kelleher) and to the elders -- poets, writers, playwrights, storytellers-- reading in the series.
