Silver Birch Press decided to celebrate the year 2015 by asking 15 poets to each contribute 15 pages of poetry to a chapbook collection, which we’ve entitled IDES (released on the ides of October 2015). The result is a diverse mix of poetry by authors from coast to coast. Our poets hail from California, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, the Carolinas, and Texas—with one from Canada.

Featured poets include: Jeffrey C. Alfier, Tobi Alfier, Carol Berg, Ana Maria Caballero, Jennifer Finstrom, Joanie Hieger Fritz Zosike, Robin Dawn Hudechek, Sonja Johanson, Ellaraine Lockie, Daniel McGinn, Robert Okaji, Glenis Redmond, Daniel Romo, Thomas R. Thomas, and A. Garnett Weiss.
