Lucky Bat Books Publishes Poetry by Janis Ian

We all know Janis Ian as an internationally famous songwriter and performer, but she’s been showing us over the last several years that she is also multi-talented.

At about the time she was writing At Seventeen, for which she won her first Grammy, she was also writing poetry; she had been since she was seven. Those poems, plus 10 not included in the original, along with a new poem by Janis, and a new introduction and afterword, make up this ebook, Who Really Cares, Childhood Poems by Janis Ian.

Photos of Janis as a teen and a child add texture to the book’s poetry, and her introduction and afterward add context. This is a book that is treasured by her fans and music afficionados as well — in it you’ll read the poetry and thoughts that later became songs and that have been performed and still are being performed by Janis and others.
