It Wasn't Always Like This

<p><span style=color: rgba(33 33 33 1)>Sassy sensitive and searing poems by contemporary American poet Jan Wesley who died in 2025. These poems contain both lyric and narrative moments; feminist concerns as well as environmental. Here Wesley writes about men and women about failed relationships about her parents. Mostly set in Los Angeles these are California poems in the best sense: light-filled at times light-hearted but with a sniper's aim always pointed toward truth.  </span></p>
