Janet lives in Portage, Michigan, with her husband. Her hobbies are hiking, singing, and bird-watching.“Heller employs simple language – language that is fundamentally folk – which captures in its aforementioned clear-cut rhythm a sound that effectively shows us the allures of activism, on scales either small or large, in the realms of both public and private life.” –Women’s Studies, 41:1010-1, 2012. Routledge: Taylor & Francis Group, “In Brief”“Folk Concert: Changing Times, by Janet Ruth Heller, captures small everyday moments with matter-of-fact grace and humor. The powerful understatement of these rich, precise poems swells and reverberates. They sing with political commitment, emotional commitment, and a lifetime of paying attention.” –Jim Daniels, author of Trigger Man, and Having a Little Talk with Capital P Poetry“Janet Ruth Heller’s poems in Folk Concert: Changing Times work hard for clarity. They feel like clear water, but they have the cumulative power of a summer storm. Her family and nature poems are particularly moving.” –Marge Piercy, author of The Hunger Moon: New & Selected Poems, 1980-2010, Circles on the Water: New and Selected Poems 1960-1980, and The Moon is Always Female
