    In December 1999, Newton's Baby Press released her first print collection of poetry
    entitled Calamity's Quilt

    Janet is one of ten poets to be featured at the 'One Heart, One World' Exhibit at the United Nations Exhibit Hall in New York City in April, 2000. Her poem 'Acrylic Thighs' will be translated into five languages and paired with original artwork. The tour will travel to France, Australia, Vietnam, Brazil,
    and Japan.

    Janet's first e-book of poetry, entitled Reefs We Live, is now available at Word Wrangler Publishing. In April 2000, Word Wrangler will release Buck's first e-book of humor entitled Desideratum's Doggie Dish. It contains what critics have called a "biting, hilarious, and original look at the roles of men and women, the foibles of bureaucracy, and the hubris of academia."
