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.

    And if we did not toot our horn .. who then would do it for us?

    The ability to self-promote is a sure sign of a healthy self-image.

    Each and everyone is good at something and I believe we need to take pride in our efforts .. to encourage others to follow in our footsteps.

    Nicely done.

    uh-huh, always were one to blow your own horn...

    Now, let's go have a picnic lunch under the tumtum trees. I've got a basket full of roasted jubjub, grilled over a blazing tulgey wood fire.

    Won't you galumph along with me? (and of course, forgive me if I stare longingly at your bandersnatch as we eat...)
