God Themselves
God Themselves | Jae Nichelle
2 posts | 2 read
Let this book be a celebration of queerness, Blackness, and love. Let these words be a modern church, these poems a holy space. Rising star and spoken word poet Jae Nichelle debuts her luminous thoughts in God Themselves, a new collection of stirring poetry. Nichelle taps into her experiences of growing up in the South as a queer Black woman to courageously confront the effects of a forced religion and the inherent dangers of living life in a female body. God Themselves is divided into three equally moving sections: Everything, Everywhere, and Love. Nichelle braids her wisdomas seen in the poem What to Do When Theres Nothing You Can Doand witty generational humorseen in "Sanctity: An Expos"into every poem. If youve ever contemplated who, what, and where God is, find comfort in these words.

I have no business reviewing poetry. I rarely enjoy it and I am even less likely to understand or “get” it. So, I won‘t rate this based on whether or not I liked it. I‘m honestly not sure. I will say that I liked the mixed formats of the collection, especially the poems supposedly written with predictive text. Those were clever. There are two other poems written with footnotes and I loved those. That format was unique and fun.
