I first knew Janet's work online, and have featured several of her poems at VLQ (vlqpoetry.com). She is one of the finest poets I've read, translating grit to beauty through stirring images. Hers is a voice well worth listening to. I guarantee you'll learn something about yourself in the process. I did.

So much of Janet Bucks poetry resonates with the reader. Few people who have spent time with her poems are not personally touched by them, and her voice never leaves me wondering or unsatisfied. She is, in short, one of the best poets on the Internet or the book shelf, and deserves to be everyone's library who appreciates a strong poetic voice.

Truly a collectors item from the internet's most widely published poets. Janet turns disability into ability. The strength of these words stay with you. I've never read a better poet.

You can find many of Janet's poems on the web, where she has been publishing intensively for the last 3-4 years. That's how I cam to her strong poetry, where medical madness reigns, as well as compassion. This is one of the best poets I have read in my life.
