residence, and care for his new daughter, now 17. He does all of
this from his home in Maine. He has now published over 40 books as
both poet and anthologist, including A Kick in the Head,
Seeing the Blue Between, A Poke in the Eye, Stone
Bench in an Empty Park, and Dirty Laundry Pile .
Janeczko’s lecture will be followed by book sales courtesy of The

6:30 pm. Appetizers will be served. Kerlan note cards will be on
sale by the Kerlan Friends.
