Ibbetson Street--a publication of the  Ibbetson Street Press was started in 1998 on Ibbetson Street in Somerville, Ma. by Doug Holder, Dianne Robitaille, and Richard Wilhelm. We have a great lineup of poets in Ibbetson 40, including Marge Piercy, Kathleen Spivack, Mary Buchinger Bodwell, Brendan Galvin, Ted Kooser and many others.

 The potluck and reading for Ibbetson Street #40 will be held at the central branch of the Somerville Public Library on Highland Avenue, Somerville, next to the high school. It will be in the "auditorium" on Wednesday, January 11, 2017. Potluck is at 6:00 P.M. Reading begins at 7:00 P.M. We will be finished and out of the library at 8:45 P.M. There is free parking on-site. Also, you can get the #88 bus from Davis Square. There is a bus stop almost across the street from the library. Everyone who has a poem in Ibbetson Street #40 can sign up to read their poem. The room has seating for about fifty people.
