POETS OF THE WEEK

   ~ This weeks featured poets are JOHN BIRKBECK and JANET BUCK:

   JOHN BIRKBECK (Iowa City, Iowa) was a late bloomer, and had not
   published any poems until his middle forties.  Family legend has it
   that he's descended from Lord Byron.  Other than a coming from a
   common genetic pool, and writing poems, they have very few things
   in common.

   JANET BUCK (Medford, Oregon) has been widely published throughout
   the known universe and also served as one of the judges in the 1999
   Poetry Super Highway summer poetry contest.


   Read their work online by clicking on FEATURED POETS from the main

   ~ Check out our online bookstore for personal recommendations as well
   as Amazon.com's complete catalog of books, music and whatever the
   hell else they've started selling these days.

   ~ Featured this week in the featured poets section of the PSH
   Bookstore is HOMELESS AT HOME by one of this week's featured poets,
   JOHN BIRKBECK.

   "The Balzac of American poetry, April 1, 2001"
   - John Birkbeck reminds me of the old addage that has it, "Show me
   a funny man and I'll show you an angry one." Birkbeck's poetry seems
   to have a lot of rage beneath the surface, yet without malice. It is
   a rage to see life as it is and as it could be. I once met Birkbeck
   at a conference, and had a chance to talk to him over dinner. He is
   one of the funniest people I've ever met, even when speaking of
   horrific things. The poems in "Homeless At Home" remind me much of
   that memorable dinner so many years ago. I highly recommend this
   latest work of John Birkbeck.

               Bautiste Monfant from Montreal, Quebec
