Recently the InterBoard Poetry Community, an elite group of twenty plus online poetry communities such as Poets.Org, Writer's Block, SplashHall Poetry and The Versifier, had their annual poetry awards.

The gracious Judy Kronenfeld chose the top poems from winners of the IBPC monthly competition. Judy’s poems have appeared in Poetry International, The Women’s Review of Books, The Portland Review, Spoon River Poetry Review, Free Lunch and many other journals, as well as in various anthologies, such as Red, White & Blues: Poets on the Promise of America (Iowa U.P., 2004), and So Luminous the Wildflowers: An Anthology of California Poets (Tebot Bach, 2003). She is the author of a book and two chapbooks of poetry, the most recent being Ghost Nurseries (Finishing Line Press, 2005). She has also published stories, essays, and reviews in journals including The Madison Review, Under the Sun and English Literary History, as well as a (muckraking!) book of scholarship: KING LEAR and the Naked Truth: Rethinking the Language of Religion and Resistance (Duke U.P., 1998). She has taught English at UC Irvine, UC Riverside and Purdue University; she is currently a member of the Creative Writing Department at UC Riverside, where she has been since 1984.

In an exclusive interview for the IBPC and BZoO HomeGrown Radio, Will Brown of Cloudy Day Art talks one on one with Judy about the IBPC judging process, poetry, and Judy herself.
