In or Out of Season

Jane Blanchard is a poet who unapologetically makes use of rhyme and form in her work. Her control of both is very impressive in a most engaging way.

-Peter Thabit Jones, editor, The Seventh Quarry

Jane Blanchard's most recent work will appeal to any lover of finely crafted not-a-syllable-wasted rhyme. She sifts through the everyday to reveal what deserves our attention.

-Lora Zill, editor, Time of Singing

Jane Blanchard finds the poetry in the everyday, often taking an apparently unpromising subject and making something individual and special out of it. Her poems are formally varied and always readable.

-George Simmers, editor, Snakeskin

As always, with this latest collection from Jane Blanchard, I am amazed. Her "love of language" shines and glistens throughout her poems.

-Maurice Ferguson, literary editor, Artemis

Jane Blanchard turns her inner eye and voice to family and life events, often with tongue firmly in cheek. You will smile in recognition.

-Jean Milliken, editor, The Lyric
