Rhythms of the Heart

About the author and this book: Janet Hassell has a long history of writing as a newspaper editor, technical and advertising copy writer, newsletter editor and poetry author. This volume of poetry is her first published work of this genre.

Her work is drawn from life experiences over the past 58 years in nursing practice and administration, military service, business, real estate, academics, music and art. Her style ranges from free verse to metered verse and she enjoys drawing from nature, emotions, satire, and romantic love and heartbreak. She hopes that her work will strike a common chord with her readers as she reflects on a wide range of topics.

She currently resides in Colorado with her husband, Bill, and her parakeet, Pete.
