She could show you the very first poem she wrote on its original paper. After many busy years of working and raising four children alone in Florida, Jann returned to school and obtained an Associate of Arts degree and then a nursing degree. Seven years later, after a career in nursing in a Florida hospital, she had to retire due to a diagnosis of Systemic Lupus, a stroke, and other disabilities. Through these difficult years she continued to write poetry. A chap book was published while in college and she had single pieces frequently printed for special occasions. A few years ago, Jann published a "fun" book which quickly sold out. Now her love of New England, especially Downeast Maine, begins words filled with respect and emotions.view less
