Poetry by Jennifer Barber, Michael Casey, Gary Metras, Jim Kelly and more..... Well, it is time for yet another Ibbetson Street. We are celebrating our 20th anniversary. That's a long time in the small press world. On the front and back covers of this issue, you can view the evocative paintings of Bridget Seley-Galway-a longtime contributor to Ibbetson Street. It has been an active few months for Ibbetson Street. Since we last talked, we published a new collection edited by Lee Varon and Marc Goldfinger, Spare Change News Poems: An Anthology by Homeless People and those Touched by Homelessness. And the Ibbetson Street Press YoungPoet Series (directed by Emily Pineau) has released a new collection of poetry by a talented undergraduate, Daniel Calnan, entitled To Move a Piano.

Ibbetson Street has increased its stature with our new affiliation and has attracted such poets as Marge Piercy, X.J. Kennedy, Daniel Tobin, Sam Cornish, Diana der-Hovanessian, and Richard Hoffman, to name a few. We continue to be dedicated to publishing fine emerging poets as well. I want to thank Poetry Editors Mary Rice and Harris Gardner for their fine work, as well as Managing Editor Dorian Brooks and Consulting Editor Robert K. Johnson.
