A packed audience witnessed and heard her read from her book "Synchronicity," just  released that evening. She treated all who attended to an amazing voyage in words and personality. Her poems made us laugh, reminisce, reflect and skirt the border of tears. Ever the poet, she left us with an experience we will all treasure forever. </div> <bR> <div> 50% of the proceeds from the purchase of either of Pat's two books will be donated to Isaiah House, a hospice in Rochester where Pat spent many hours comforting the dying.</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="#love_in_the_time_of_anthrax" TITLE="Janus"><U><B>Love in the Time of Anthrax</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Synchronicity</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="3972cda0.png" border=0 width="300" height="474" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <div> Cover Art by Sherry L.

This collection is a testament to a life lived deliberately, with compassionate service to others. And a sense of humor. These poems, though well honed, never lose the feel of spontaneity; like Blake's doors, they continually open to new delights and surprises.</I></div> <div>     John Roche</div> <div> Author of <I>On Conesus</I></div> <div> FootHills Publishing, 2005</div> <bR> <div> <B>From the book:</B></div> <div> <IMG SRC="38201010.png" border=0 width="1" height="1" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>Synchronicity</B></div> <bR> <div> Part of me</div> <div> lost</div> <div> and I did not</div> <div> even know</div> <div> that it was missing.</div> <bR> <div> Like some gift book</div> <div> set aside</div> <div> unread,</div> <div> then picked up</div> <div> at a later time,</div> <div> and found to be</div> <div> exactly</div> <div> what I needed</div> <div> to read,</div> <div> you appeared</div> <div> to call a name</div> <div> I did not know</div> <div> was mine</div> <div> until I heard it.</div> <bR> <div> ISBN 0-941053-89-X</div> <bR> <div> <I>Synchronicity</I> </div> <div> is a 72 page hand-sewn paperback with spine - $16.00</div> <bR> <div> TO ORDER  ON-LINE </div> <bR> <div> <B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/sc-but-01.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Synchronicity"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="06-6"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="16.00"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> </form>   </B> <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="fhp@foothillspublishing.com"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/images/view_cart.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> <input type="hidden" name="display" value="1"> </form>  </div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id151.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Ordering by Mail"><U>To order through mail click here</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B> <A NAME="love_in_the_time_of_anthrax"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B><B>Love in the Time of Anthrax</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="2df049f0.jpg" border=0 width="260" height="415" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <I>When you read Pat Janus, you will be drawn to her human connections in life - the letters written, and not written on the fiber of real paper - the  "dailyness" of events that defined the pains of loss and empty spaces left behind. The sensitivity of her imagery takes us to moments of discovery - to the dust of kitchen people - the newspaper street corner in NY City - the Kentucky Derby - their woods - and down the road of good intentions... trips laced with wonder and reflection.  It is a tender read.</I></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>                                                                 -- Ron Bailey</div> <div>                                                                  Poet/Teacher</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>From the book:</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>LOVE IN THE TIME OF ANTHRAX</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> The mail has always been</div> <div> the thread that tied us </div> <div> one to another.</div> <div> Not the graceless</div> <div> electronic messages</div> <div> that flit across the screen,</div> <div> but the slanting tendrils</div> <div> of your handwritten words,</div> <div> the linen paper imbued</div> <div> with the essence of you.</div> <div> A letter to be opened eagerly,</div> <div> read,</div> <div> carried in a pocket, </div> <div> then reread in a different light.</div> <div> I cannot imagine it to be</div> <div> the death of me,</div> <div> rather death would be, </div> <div> if no letter came.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Pat Janus has always written poetry but took a hiatus from publishing to become an oncology nurse and then a hospital chaplain.  This work enables her to be present to people at some of the most significant times of their lives.</div> <bR> <div> Her poetry has been published in numerous literary journals and magazines and she is an active member of the Rochester poetry community.</div> <bR> <div> Pat lives in the Corn Hill neighborhood of Rochester, N.
