Janet Butler, a native of Pittsburgh, PA, relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area after living many years in central Italy as teacher, translator, and watercolor painter. While there she collaborated with Romeo Giuli in the translation of his poetry, and a selection of this work was published by Solveig Publishing House, Sienna, Italy. In 2004 Ms. Butler decided to dedicate herself to her own writing. Her poems have since appeared both in print and online, in Scrivener's Pen, ken*again, JMWW, Prose Toad, SubtleTea, Carnelian, Mannequin Envy, The Penwood Review, Utmost Christian Writers, Language and Culture, Miller's Pond, Spiky Palm, Wild Violet, Slow Trains, Flutter, The Green Muse, The Foliate Oak and others. Future publications include The Indented Pillow, 2008. Ms. Butler was featured writer for Sage of Consciousness, Fall, 2005, and an online chapbook, Eden Fables, will be published by Language and Culture, Summer, 2007.
