Ice cream, ice cream, who wants ice cream? Hundreds of poets not onlysaid a resounding “yes,” but wrote about it. And from those hundreds, Iaccepted the 125 poems you will find here from 27 different states plusAustralia, France, Iraq, Spain, and Tunisia.The poems are as various as the flavors of ice cream: long poems, shortpoems, and in addition to traditional free-verse narratives and lyrics:experimental poems, poems in forms such as sestinas, sapphics, sonnets,prose poems.When I accepted the job of editing, I wondered if I’d be bored by so manypoems about ice cream; I wondered whether there would be hundreds ofpoems about The Good Humor Man or Dairy Queen. But I needn’t haveworried, I was never bored. The Good Humor Man and Dairy Queen poemswere there, of course, but I was amazed by the wide variety of subjects:light humorous poems, sweet poems, lusty poems, dark poems, poemsabout childhood memories, a poem about Obama’s first date, and a poemwith Paul Newman in it.I am pleased with this final collection of ice cream poems. I think readerswill enjoy them as much as I enjoyed reading and selecting them.—Patricia Fargnoli, Editor, author of Hallowed (Tupelo Press, 2017)
