Loving Is a Skill is a soul-stirring collection of poems that reminds us love is not just a feeling. It is a practice, a daily choice, and a lifelong journey. Through vivid imagery and honest reflection, Cleanne Lynn Johnson turns everyday struggles into moments of courage, grace, and renewed purpose.

From quiet hours of self-discovery to shared moments of connection and healing, each poem invites readers to slow down, breathe, and listen within. Johnson's words reach those who have known pain, loneliness, or doubt, yet still long to believe in the beauty of starting again. Her voice gently teaches that loving well-yourself, others, and the world-is a skill that can be learned, strengthened, and lived.

Whether she writes of freedom and solitude, melanin and identity, faith and surrender, or the soft strength found in tears, Johnson's verses carry warmth, truth, and deep empathy. This collection speaks to resilience, to the kind of strength that grows in hard seasons and the courage it takes to love again, more wisely and more whole.

This book is for the dreamers, the healers, the broken-hearted, and anyone still learning that to love fully is to live fully.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

• Poetry on healing, growth, and spiritual resilience
• Themes of identity, faith, self-worth, and empowerment
• Inspirational, reflective verse similar to Rupi Kaur, Nayyirah Waheed, or Morgan Harper Nichols
