John Matthias and Jean Dibble, The HIJ





John Matthias has published some thirty books of poetry, fiction, memoirs and essays. He is Editor at Large of Notre Dame Review and taught at the University of Notre Dame for forty years before his retirement. He is also a Life Member of Clare Hall, Cambridge. His most recent books are a three-volume Collected Poems (Shearsman) and the novel Different Kinds of Music (also Shearsman). Two volumes of essays on Matthias's work have been published: Word Play Place: Essays on the Poetry of John Matthias, ed. by Robert Archambeau, and The Salt Companion to the Poetry of John Matthias, ed. by Joe Francis Doerr. A volume of performance pieces, Six Short Plays, is scheduled from BlazeVOX in June.

Jean Dibble, Professor at the University of Notre Dame, is a printmaker and painter that has exhibited extensively, both internationally and nationally since 1978.  Her website reflects a wandering mind, well invested in daydreaming.  One of the founding members of the Mid America Print Council and a current second vice president, she has been active in the organization for most of its existence. A longtime member of Southern Graphics Council International, she is a board member. 

She teaches printmaking. http://jeandibble.com
