-- Moshe Benarroch
Janet Buck is a passionate poet, her verse stately and elegant. Calamity's Quilt, to me, is poetic passion made manifest. The lines and language are profound and powerful.

Newton's Baby, 1999
On December 1, 1999, Newton's Baby will release Calamity's Quilt, a new book of work by the poet Janet Buck. Ms Buck has published widely in print and online journals, and Calamity's Quilt will feature poems previously seen in places like 2River View, MindFire, The Horsethief’s Journal and Conspire, as well as brand new work.
Janet Buck's publication credits stand as testimony to the power of her writing. Barbara Benepe, publisher of Cayuse Press, writes, "Janet Buck's tenacious style pulls the reader into a world of witty wordplay and raw, immediate emotion." Poet Scott Holstad says "for her, the word is life and it shows through her poems." In 1999, Ms Buck's poem "Acrylic Thighs" was one of ten pieces from around the world chosen for the "One World, One Heart" exhibit at the United Nations Exhibit Hall in New York City. The exhibit, to debut in April 2000, will pair the poem with a visual art piece.
Ms Buck teaches writing and literature at the college level. Her work has been nominated for the 1999 Pushcart Prize by both Kimera and Newton's Baby.
Copies of Calamity's Quilt are $11.95 US plus $3.20 shipping.
