    About this ebook

    Anything But Love Poems is the unlikely title to an uncommon and powerful collection of love and relationship poems.  Each poem takes you along the ups and downs of dating, marriage, abuse, divorce and finally finding the perfect union of two souls.  It is an unfiltered journey through innocence lost, to brutal battles, and finding a touch of bliss. 

    Anything But Love Poems appeals to both the love poem lover and hater as well.  It is an honesty that is harsh at times.  But the true heart is peaceful in the end.

    Ann Kestner

    Ann Kestner offers a unique voice, one that stems from a life often lived in the outskirts where she constantly searches for the beauty behind the shadows.  She has never fully conformed to the academic literates or performance poets, instead she has developed a distinct style of her own.  She is not fearful of difficult truths and heavy emotions, nor does she apologize for expressing them. Having spent half her life along the Jersey coast and half in Virginia at the edge of D.C., Ms. Kestner is an odd blend of Jersey girl and southern woman. Her first works were published at the age of sixteen.  Many of her works were published under the pennames Isabel Kestner and Isabel Sylvan, among others.  She was the founder and editor of Poetry Breakfast.  In 2017, she was the poet in residence and manager of the Poetry and Arts Barn in New Egypt, NJ.  She can often be found at poetry readings throughout New Jersey.  Additionally, she readily shares her readings online through Instagram and IGTV.
