Calamity Jane
Poetry. Opera. American Studies. Women's Studies. Foreword by Brenda Coultas. "The legendary Calamity Jane was plucked up by Doris Day and tarted out by Jane Russell in the movies, butched down by Robyn Weigert on Deadwood, and tackled with varying degrees of spunk and grit by dozens of other actors, biographers and braggarts. She likely aggrandized aspects of her own adventures in an almost assuredly ghost-written memoir, Life and Times of Calamity Jane by Herself, which was published as a souvenir pamphlet for admirers to take away from her dime museum and wild west show appearances.

Devaney has the gentle grace of Rilke combined with the wisdom of Solomon. For this he is irresistible. "[His poems] are vulnerable, pleasurable, tolerant, wary and contemporary"--Fanny Howe. "The poems are resonant patches of serious life, almost as buoyant as dreams. Their light graces remain etched in the mind"--John Ashbery
