Ibbetson Street #48 Doug Holder

It has been a tough few months with the Pandemic raging, but Ibbetson Street is still here, with more poetry and reviews for the reader. In this issue we have poetry from Daniellle Legros Georges, Charles Coe, Gary Metras, John Skoyles, and many others. Ibbetson Street will have a new collection of poetry out this winter, "Seldom Purely" by Linda Haviland Conte. Linda has been a member of Ibbetson Street since its inception in 1998, and is an officer of the New England Poetry Club, and the chairwomen of the Somerville, MA. Poet Laureate Board - founded by yours truly, Gregory Jenkins and Harris Gardner. You will notice the front cover with a spectral woman running through a huge white space of snow - that photograph is by Jennifer Matthews, and the back cover of the autumnal leaf was photographed by Glenn Bowie. We are also excited that William Falcetano, who has appeared in Ibbetson Street before, has written a great review of the new Powow Poets Anthology. Many Powow Poets, (an organization based in Newburyport, Ma), have appeared on these pages over the years.
