I hope you enjoy the new issue.

ILR had two readings in the United States recently.  In March, there was a poetry and fiction reading in Upper Montclair, New Jersey at the Old Quaker Meeting House with ILR contributors Jessica Wolf, Martin Golan, Susan Tepper, David Popiel, and William Gordon.

In April, there was a fiction reading held at the KGB Bar in NYC with stories being read by ILR contributors Jamie Cat Callan, Eric Darton, Susan Tepper, and Thaddeus Tutkowski.

Susan Tepper, author of Blue Edge hosted the reading in New Jersey and Ed Hamilton, author of Legends of the Chelsea Hotel hosted the readings at the KGB Bar.
Both readings were well attended.  Miles and I wish we could have been at these readings. 

Thank you so much to Susan Tepper who organized both these readings.  Her energy is amazing! It is so appreciated by the ILR family.  Thank you to Ed Hamilton for stepping in to host at the last minute at the KGB Bar.  You are a gem!

I started editing ILR a year ago.  Wow!  Time has gone by so fast.  This has been a wonderful year.  Thank you to Etkin and everyone at ILR.  We have made a wonderful team, and it is an honor to be part of such a wonderful ILR family.

Have a great summer!
