Active Year for Ibbetson Street

Ibbetson Street is now affiliated with and supported by Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts. Among other news is that they have published a Pushcart-Prize-winning poem: Afaa Michael Weaver’s “Blues in Five/Four, The Violence in Chicago” (published in their mag in November 2012). Kim Triedman, one of the managing editors, is stepping down, and Rene Schwiesow is stepping up to replace her. “Rene, an excellent poet herself, is also co-host for the popular South Shore poetry venue, The Art of Words and a reviewer for Boston Area Small Press and Poetry Scene,” writes Editor Doug Hodder.

Issue 9 of Ibbetson Street features poetry by Cornelius Eady, Jean Valentine, Brendan Galvin, Jason Roberts, and more.
