Glass Skin

Shameless self-promotion of my recently published book.
My book Glass Skin (Hidden Brook Press, 2008) is now available. The book is a collection of more than 50 poems and is part of Hidden Brook Press' North Shore Series.

The book retails for $15.95 (Canadian). Orders can be placed directly through me with payment through e-mail. For more information or to order a copy e-mail janpoet@gmail.com




Blurbs for Glass Skin - Janet Richards

This collection provides a carefully crafted balance between life experience and literature.
Janet Richards gives us the pulse of days and seasons, the give and take of intimacy, and the bond of mother and child. These poems recognize and celebrate the subtle, organic signals of our daily lives.

R.D. Roy, Panegyric Press

"Dragonfly nymphs stir in ever-warming water …"
Janet's observations glean, as though perched on top a tripod draped in a velvet cloak.

Jennifer Londry


Janet's poetry is quietly mesmerizing. You are lured in by her descriptions of the every day, and stay for the often bittersweet tang at the end. At once universal and extremely personal, they swirl
around in your mind long after the first reading is over.

Jennifer May,
Belleville Branch, Ontario Poetry Society

Janet Richards' book is a journey of imagery connected to the Bay of Quinte region; it also opens the reader's eyes to all of life's daily adventures. The sound of the poet's voice is often in a language that surprises. Glass Skin - a great addition to the Quinte literary landscape. Enjoy.

    Congratulations, Jannyjan!!

    There you've been, modestly going about the business of putting together a manuscript, submissions, etc, all that messy business, while I thought you were just busy being mommy. Brava, woman!

    It speaks further to your modesty that you put this in a column clearly labelled, so I knew exactly what I would find when I came here. Thank you for that.

    So...any tips?

      Honestly, I was fortunate to have a friend/poet who pushed me to be involved in this series and likely put in a good word with the publisher who had heard me read and seen some of my work. There is some great satisfaction in having a publisher deem your work worthy of print though.

      Thank you, and if I think of any real tips I'll let you know.

    I once broadcasted myself into a 50 gallon chilled garbage can full of sangria at a sweet sixteen party. I was 30, bearded, and had
    no idea who's backyard I had wall-hopped into, but damn, sometimes the smell of fajitas...

        Congratulations. So far I've made sixty dollars in royalties from
        my book. I'm hoping to buy half a pair of shoes.

    A hearty congratulations on such a worthy & humbling accomplishment, Poet!!! I have shamelessly added your shameless promotion on two separate pages (pinned to my author's page) of published AP Poets. Yours is right under Rob's. Well done & here's hoping for a volume two. Wanda
