Ian Dreiblatt is a poet, translator, & musician. he is the author, with Kerry Downey, of hoc me fefecit / image, a collaborative book of art & poetry, and has published translations of Mandelstam &, most recently, Tolstoy's The Death Of Ivan Ilich. the poet Robert Kelly has said, "listening to Ian's poems, because he has that magic intuition that all poetry is language poetry... you can feel a tremendous upwelling of words in other languages, other englishes within the english." he writes a sonnet every day & lives with Lauren near the c & g trains.
Lauren Ireland is a poet & an editor at Lungfull! Magazine. She co-curates The Reading at Chrystie Street with Steve Roberts. Lauren has published in The Black Warrior Review, jubilat, Bateau, Conduit, & other magazines. She lives in Brooklyn with Ian Dreiblatt & makes her living writing ads for Vogue Magazine.
Is Steve Roberts a poet? Well, yes indeed. He has been writing poems since 1996, and some of them are actually good. He has attended the College of Santa Fe and the New School where he got two meaningless degrees and made some friends. Does he have poems printed in magazines? Aren't you a curious little fellow! He has had work published in RealPoetik, Sink Review, the tiny, the Dick Pig Review and Red China magazine, to name a few. When not writing or complaining, he teaches English. He's pretty tall.
Karen Gibbons is a life-long artist. Currently she has been making primarily sculpture and drawings, as well as paintings that contain aspects of both. She is the mother of three children. She is a writer/poet; author of a book of drawings and poems with Rebecca Aidlin called Goldfish and Pumpkin Vines. She and her husband, Peter Reich renovated an old Victorian and ran a bed and breakfast on the banks of the Upper Delaware River. She is a registered yoga instructor, teaching classes and workshops. She is also a board certified creative arts therapist, working with children in an elementary school.
