Janet Butler relocated to the Bay Area in 2005 after many years in central Italy. She teaches ESL in San Francisco, and lives in Alameda with Fulmi, a lovely Spaniel mix she rescued in Italy and brought back with her. Some recent or forthcoming publications are The North Chicago Review, Assisi, Caduceus, The Tipton Poetry Journal and The Quotable. A poetry chapbook, Searching for Eden, is forthcoming from Finishing Line Press.
