PREFACE
One year on and we are back to the beginning, the book that sparked Wordjar into life‘My Love’. The Valentines Day anthology which was published a year ago to this day,
gave the wordsmiths involved their rst chance to be published. Our audience wassmall, our reputation non existent. However it was the rst step on a long road. A year
on, and four anthologies later, we have started to gain some momentum, and Wordjaris approaching a position where it can make a real change. We have put the words of more than 30 poets onto the page, generated more than 10,000 reads of our anthologies,received many positive reviews, and widened the demographic of our audience as wellas the poets that submit their work to us.My love 2 is a special anthology. Every poem in this publication is dedicated to some-body special to the poet. I have to admit when I sent out the brief about this anthology Iexpected everybody involved to send me an ode to their lover. However I was surprisedby the variety I got back. There were love poems dedicated to siblings, dead relatives,mothers and even a two part poem written by a couple. Some of the poets involved you
will remember from other anthologies, others are writing in our anthology for the rst
time, all of the poems are worth reading.On the behalf of everybody at Wordjar I would like to thank the following poets for theircontribution to this anthology:

Each and every one of them deserves their place in this anthology. Their words are lovetipped bullets that will bring you warmth as they penetrate your heart.And now I am honored to present to you, My Love 2….Happy Valentines Day!Francis Xavier LabiranFounderWordjar
