Journal Entry

Journal Entry is a four chapter collection of poems exploring Jovan's experiences with Black culture, mental health, and love. Through the use of unique rhyme schemes, poignant vignettes, a socially relatable sense of humor, and select forms of poetry from tankas to haikus and sonnets, Jovan crafts an open diary highlighting his internal struggles and the life changing moments that made him the man and poet he is today. This vulnerable and transparent collection is not just for himself, but hopefully a therapy session for anyone who reads it. Journal Entry is Jovan's first published collection of poems and the second book to be released by the Black-owned publishing house, Black Minds Publishing, LLC.
