Ibbetson 38 released with a poem of mine and a wonderful cast of poetic characters.

Ibbetson Street 38 is out with a fabulous list of poets. It's a great publication per usual and you can pick one up on Lulu here.

Included is my poem, "The Fifth Bloody Mary on a Sunday Afternoon"--brunch for a bad marriage.
