Here's a quick peek at the back cover Another indepth review of Tickets to a Closing Play is available at
The Pedestal Magazine. Rave Reviews: "…Janet Buck takes our most defining and often bleakest of experiences,
sprinkles them with her special brand of word whimsy, to produce this rich and
vibrant collection of poetry that's not only serious and insightful, but a sheer
delight to read…" --Jane Butkin Roth, editor, We Used to Be Wives: Divorce Unveiled Through
Poetry "…don't expect [Buck] to allow complacency of any sort in these powerful
slices of reality." --Christine L. Reed, Editor, Maelstrom "…Whether she is speaking of a war scene, a waiting room in a hospital, the
elderly, or homelessness, she spotlights the deep wounds of our world ... Janet
Buck is one of the best among us. I celebrate the release of this important
collection." --John Amen, author of Christening the Dancer "… [Buck] uses whole sections of her poems to build to passionate climaxes
that will leave readers gasping when catharsis settles in. The poetry uses
language so beautifully that readers will catch themselves memorizing line after
line." --George Klawitter, author of Let Orpheus Take Your Hand "…This is a book to read slowly and to savor." --Susan Terris, author of Fire Is Favorable to the Dreamer Janet I. Buck lives and writes in Southern Oregon. Her poetry has recently
appeared in Three Candles, Red River Review, PoetryBay, The Pedestal
Magazine, Stirring, Facets, The American Muse, Southern Ocean Review, Octavo,
