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.
