5 Star Review
Poetry was a love of mine once long ago. In elementary/middle school years, I had pages full of them. Writing down emotions was an escape and a way to melt away the hurt and pain. Every Love is my first book of poems I have read in over a decade. I was not disappointed!! You can feel what the author has endured with love.
Every Love made me reflect that Love is not always hearts and flowers. For some parts, its not even pretty. It can leave wounds and scars. GAH! I loved how much emotions came over me. My heart goes out to Jann for laying down all the words! ❤ Great read!

BLURB:
Love can be wholesome,
Healthy and pure.
It can also be deadly,
Of this I am sure.
I’ve experienced many,
I’ve opened my door.
Of all the love that I’ve held
There’s one thing I know,
Ain’t no one has loved
Quite like me… Jann Doe.
EVERY LOVE is a collection of poetry covering my own experiences in love. From abuse, to affair, to healthy commitment, I’ve experienced the dynamics of love… even suicide has played a part. The name ‘Jann Doe’ is to protect myself and my family from my own mistakes and history, given the parts of me that love has touched.
SAMPLE POEM FROM EVERY LOVE
*See You*
What is this burn,
This terrible stab,
My heart stuck,
It steps back,
Too shocked to beat,
I shrink when I see you,
My first heavy blow,
Of life, and of men,
But how could I know,
Should’ve listened,
Could’ve ran,
But for you I stood ground,
And for what,
To see you and her, hand in hand?
Author Bio:
Jann Doe is a poet who recognizes and accepts her authenticity as a woman, and encourages other women to do the same. Everyone has their burdens to cary, their flaws to accept, and their strengths to pride themselves on. Jann’s goal as a poet is to speak out on behalf of other women across the globe to love themselves for who they truly are. No one is perfect, nor should we be. It’s imperative that we as women accept ourselves, and live for tomorrow… not by ignoring our past but by learning from it, and growing because of it.
