Kim’s Review 5 Heart Felt Stars

I don’t often get a chance to dive into non-fiction, but I do enjoy this genre a lot to read.  I really enjoyed stumbling across this poet’s blog, and honoured  she allowed me to read her work! And to be part of her book tour for her new release.  I found her poetry to be very diverse, honest, blunt, some of them a little steamy too. It is hard to review poetry according to the same criteria as genre fiction work, in-fact it’s impossible! But this anthology of poetry receives 5 full stars from me, there  are just over fifty I read and I very much enjoyed reading all of them. I felt like Jann Doe bared her soul to the world and look forward to reading more. Well done Jann Doe.

 

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 carry, 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.
