Extractions: Janet Buck is a trans-femoral (AK) amputee who lives on the West Coast. She teaches writing and literature at the college level and has published over eighty of her poems in journals, magazines, and e-zines across the United States. Writing for her is catharsis. "The empty page is where I cry, where I feel, where I come a little closer to the goal of self-acceptance. The kettle-drum of stoicism we often beat until we break the stick; I hope that my writing will be, in some small way, a touch of harmony and an escape valve for others who stand beside me on this journey." For maximum effect, the following poems should be read in order. "The ones I chose for the WASA website represent the spectrum of the acceptance process. The first poems embody very stark admissions and realizations, but their tone moves toward coming to terms with a disability. There is a balance of tragedy and hope in these verses. "My hope is that the substance of my poetry will touch those who need both its compassion and its admissions; that it will, in some small way, ease the burden of those who read it."

Extractions: Potholes I look in shards of bathroom mirrors wishing for steam, for blankets of forgiving fog to keep the stitches down to tree lines hidden from the orange sun's clairvoyant eye. Who will love this road again potholes where a breast should be keeps gathering like minnows in a tide pool slick. I wish the current came and went, took me with its ethered foam. "You'll adjust," say mourners of this tragedy, who stand a step away from scars. "It's only a mastectomy" say women with two hills intact. They have the furry hands of men roaming theirs in midnight velvet flawless drape while rainstorms brew between their thighs. This is the moment of drought, doubt, and forcible rhyme. Strength is a corset drawing its string, but I see sorrow's flab in piles sabotaging silhouettes of every jet black evening gown. is just a snake and touch is fangs.

Extractions: The Lutjen and the USS Winston Churchill side-by-side, deck to deck. The sign just reads: We Stand By You. Suddenly the buckled knees. Is this that that that Germany who roughly fifty years ago ground swastikas in human hides, marched children into rooms of gas? I still taste salt upon my lips. Hate's stranger has a different face, a softer chin. Maybe, just maybe, my history books lied.

Extractions: want to pull a chuckle muscle or two. "When were busy laughing, we often forget that the nature of humor is a vice, one which presses without mercy on the cross skulls of humanity. The respite and relief of comedy can be deceiving: beneath the shade of 'giggle' lies a revealing view of our foibles shining in their raw and naked state before the glass of a bathroom mirror."

Extractions: I never really "decided" in a conscious manner. I dabbled a little in my early twenties and then again in my thirties, but writing was an irregular pastime because my head and hair were caught in the windy helicopter blades of more "academic" pursuits, getting an M.A. and a Ph.D., and teaching; I never submitted anything for publication. About four years ago, a very close friend of mine was going through the horrific procedure of having two hip replacements only eleven weeks apart. When I visited her in the hospital, I came home feeling horrendously helpless, watching the incessant dripping of blood bags and morphine pumps, her painful struggle to regain mobilityall of the things that are part and parcel of a major surgery, things I knew better than the back of my own hand. We talked a lot during that time and as I tried to help her work through the agony, it occurred to me that knowledge and discussion of my own disability might lift her spirits just a tad; if nothing else, she would feel less alone if she knew someone understood the traumas plaguing her. I wrote a poem called "Phantom Pain," a piece that examines the grieving elements of my amputation and the plethora of my congenital deformities.

Extractions: Raw Silk Poetry by Janet Buck When long black streams of limousines wound their snakes around another jagged stone, the house grew bored with the light. Dust grew wings; he followed it. He pulled down shades like people tear up envelopes because they've wasted tendons and joints and pints of sweat on ads in lieu of letters from a lover's hand. Red geraniums in June had leather skins beneath their buds. The amaryllis stayed asleep. They say he died from surgery and some infection rolling in. But battles were over before a scalpel ever brushed the possum's hide. He gave your silver to the maid, ate in restaurants for the noise. He couldn't stand the scent of sweaters laced around the dirty socks of losing you and living on. Your death lit his like a match. Roads to nowhere ready for the coming corpse. Bio: Janet Buck is a three-time Pushcart Nominee and the author of four collections of poetry. Her work has recently appeared in Three Candles, PoetryBay, Red River Review, Artemis, The Pedestal Magazine, Dakota House Journal, Poetry Magazine.com, Southern Ocean Review, CrossConnect, Offcourse, The American Muse, and hundreds of journals world-wide.
