Hall’s new poetry collection set for April release
Mar 18, 2026
Dr. Joseph Hall’s seventh full-length book of poems, “Buffalo Free Rapid Transit,” will be published in early April by Black Ocean Press.
The culture and politics magazine Current Affairs described Hall’s previous book, “Fugue & Strike,” as “a remarkable poetic project, unlike anything else in literature today.”
The sequel to "Fugue & Strike," combines a darkly observant stroll through the city with a love letter to Buffalonians trying to get by.
Hall is an assistant professor of English at the university.
