Iris Berman is a visual artist, photographer and poet. Her published journals include Nomad’s Choir, Home Planet News, Errato, Brownstone Poets, Rogue Scholars, Stained Sheets, White Rabbit, MOBLIUS, THE POETRY MAGAZINE, and nationally in the Song of the San Joaquin and Back Street Quarterly. She has also published three chapbooks, Motherlode, The Little Book of Flowers and The Little Book of Fairy Tales and Love Poems – the last published by Poets Wear Prada Press. She has studied with Louise Gluck, William Packard, Barry Goldensohn, Charles Simic, and most recently with Patrick Rosal at Poets House.
Bob Hart has gone from middle age to old age these last years writing poetry. He has seen word scenes like 77 Barrow Street, Centerfold Coffee House, ABC No Rio and most lately, the new Pink Pony at Cornelia Street Café, hoping they enjoyed him as much as he enjoyed them.
