Extractions: Janet I. Buck USA jbuck22874@aol.com The Perpetual River This August your death will be a decade old and I will remain a flagrant child plopping my foot at the base of a door that wants to close. No doubt you'd side with gusts of wind even as I argue them. Death should be a set of tonsils a pen or a scalpel removes, but it isn't it's always perpetual rivers running through pastures we love. Lost memories are Hitchcock's seagulls in a room their beaks all darts aimed at circles of a meal. Edgar's ravens in deep, omniscient black, shouting from branches, taking up space. Seasons pass on calendars, but lack a color I cannot name. If you were here, you'd chide me for wasting the pulse of a sun, for missing the taste of raspberry tea while its fragrant and randomly hot. "The Perpetual River," acknowledgment for Facets Magazine. The Cleft Lip "The Cleft Lip" first appeared in OffCourse Beckoned by the Reckoning My finger lodged in slamming doors should teach me to leave knobs alone, but some rooms win by virtue of size and weight of course your past is one of those. Time is that hairbrush I cannot toss no matter how messy the web. Your penmanship on mealy notes, runes and Sanskrit meant to trip a fountain in my acrid eyes. Combing margins of old books disturbs a heavy layer of dust and so much more. Beckoned by the reckoning, I remain the stray, stray cat clawing arches of the light. I stumble across a photo of you sipping on gin, reading beside a roaring fire. Grief gloats like an opium pipe, its gray/white swirl in the furnace of August heat too stuffy to bear, too viscid to finger away. Once again your deathbed grows a sea of posters thick enough to make itself my Alcatraz.

Interview: Janet Buck Pierian Springs Issue III 02/15/02 04/15/02 Interview janet buck. A GlimpseInterview janet buck. janet buck the name rings a bell, huh? http://www.pieriansprings.net/issue3/buckview.html
Extractions: Janet Buck: the name rings a bell, huh? Once a literature teacher, Janet Buck took a serious approach to writing roughly five years ago, and within that five-year span, she has accrued countless achievements; so many in fact that we would be here all night if I were to list them all. But it was not the name "Janet Buck" that inspired me to conduct this interview. It was not the endless amount of publications and awards. It was quite simply the grim, yet stylish approach she takes to her work. From my perception, there is a backbone to Janet's writing: Behind the interwoven metaphors and unique wordage, there are multi layers of pain and grief that surface through her words. I found these hidden, symbolic layers to be quite intriguing. So, my intent was to capture a glimpse into the soul of Janet Buck. In her own words, Janet has graciously revealed to us the woman behind the wordage. Upon the conclusion of this interview, don't forget to read Janet's poetry by clicking the Poetry Showcase link below.
