Synopsis
This anthology of essays, poetry and photography offers an intimate view of this iconic Rust Belt city—&“one of the best books about Buffalo ever created&” (Buffalo News). Buffalo, New York, embodies a rich and varied history encompassing power, disappointment, artistic flair, racial injustice, and spicy chicken wings—all with Niagara Falls in its backyard. Told through the eyes of more than sixty-five artists, writers, and residents, Right Here, Right Now offer an unblinking, personal portrait of this often-overlooked city, capturing both its good and bad sides. Edited by Jody K. Biehl, contributions from Wolf Blitzer, Lauren Belfer, Marv Levy, John Lombardo, Mary Ramsey, Robby Takac, and many more show why so many people love calling Buffalo home. Here, you&’ll encounter: Frederick Law Olmstead&’s impact on the city&’s early design The pain and joy of biking through Lake Effect snow Racism in a gentrifying city and city planning initiatives The rise and fall of the Buffalo mafia A trip to a Western New York meat raffle.
