Poetry Review: I Am More Than My Nightmares - Jennae Cecelia

I Am More Than My Nightmares by Jennae Cecelia is the fifth and final book in the Jennae Cecelia collection. I have been enjoying Jennae’s poetry since I first came across her on Twitter. Then I bought Uncaged Wallflower and I was hooked.

I Am More Than My Nightmares focuses on anxiety and fears and overcoming them. This collection is much different from her other collections especially the companion collection I Am More Than My Daydreams. Although, I did have a slight problem with the repetition this collection has. With repeating various similar themes became a bit redundant.

The poems in I Am More Than My Nightmares are written in free verse, which is my favorite type of poetry. Unlike Jennae Cecelia’s other collections, these poems are consistently short, with not many long poems spread throughout the collection. This made it a very quick read.

Now, I’m not an expert in anxiety, nor have I been diagnosed with anxiety, so please be aware of that as I continue my review. I think that the anxiety representation is done very well in this collection. The poems were somewhat relatable to me especially the ones about overcoming fears.

The emotions that resonate in these poems is strong. I could feel the emotions of anxiety and fear throughout the poems and the final sense of relief when those emotions are eased from the forefront of your mind.

I Am More Than My Nightmares is a moving poetry collection about anxiety and fears. It is relatable and emotional. And although I’m not an expert in anxiety, I feel that it is represented very well. I hope to read more of Jennae Cecelia’s work in the future!
