The new Ibbetson Street 40 is out--contact Doug Holder for an issue--and buy it HERE on LULU or on Amazon. Congratulations to Doug, Harris Gardner, Rene Schwiesow, Lawrence Kessenich and Steve Glines. My poem "There's a Fly in My Soup" is a true story of an incident which took place in a Chinese Restaurant in West Roxbury. I'm on the same page as Teisha Dawn Twomey's "Somewhere". Of course we're on the same page....
No, no, no...not that 40. It's issue 40, which if you count the journal coming out twice a year, divide by 2, carry the zero...that's TWENTY YEARS!
Wonderful cover by Musician, Poet, Photographer Jennifer Matthews . Check out her page. There is a picture of her being attacked by pine trees and rural underbrush.
