  • Janet Buck's second print collection of poetry, Tickets to a Closing Play, winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award, is now available through Gival Press and and BookSurge.com. If you're interested in purchasing a copy, they are $15.00, plus shipping & handling. The collection, 78 pages in length, centers around the themes and issues of 9/11, our ensuing wars, coping with grief, the ups and downs of love, and the rigors and jewels of family life. I suppose it's both eerie and appropriate that this announcement comes on the second anniversary of Ground Zero, since some of the poetry centers around that terrible tragedy. It's important we never forget.
