“How could a pain this deep have no blood to show for it?” 3

I relate most to the review of this book that goed *ahum*… “meh.” I love the cover art and the title really spoke to me, but yeah… no. I didn’t find it very insightful or refreshing, or like nothing I’ve ever read before. It felt like “more of the same”. And I’m all for self publishing but typos or spelling mistakes? Is that a vibe? If so, it’s not mine.

Not as profound as the writer thinks (sorry)

Melissa Moore

4.5 stars. Short book. Powerful words. I will come back to this book over and over again to feel the power behind words. I know I can find a poem for any situation life might throw at me.

For those of you who have been following me for a while, you may have noticed that I have a massive appreciation for poets who bring us into their lives by simple prose. It never matters how little or much they pen; there's just a spark of life within their words and it's kind of fearless to let countless readers into your most intimate thoughts.

Jennae Cecelia has a voice that shines through in her works and Bright Minds Empty Souls is proof of that. The quality of her writing is minimal in a way that swiftly gets down to the point. Expressing yourself is what poetry is all about, and Jennae Cecelia brings her thoughts to page beautifully. Further, her work feels a lot like she is talking directly to her audience. This makes it easy to connect with.

What I loved most about Bright Minds Empty Souls is that it ties up pieces of her life throughout a period of time. Each poem was written separately and the collection was put together in the end to create the finished product. There's a significance to the collection that I can't explain unless you read it, then, chances are, you would feel it too. When you consider the fact that it took Jennae 6 years to complete this collection, it makes sense--it's crafted out of love.

Other things to note:

Jennae Cecelia always makes you feel present throughout her works. I already said this, but I have to say it again: each collection feels truly like a conversation between the two of you or even just a glimpse into her mind. There's so much to relate to in Bright Minds Empty Souls, as with any other title she's published in the past, and it serves as a great inspiration.

Ultimately, poetry is meant to be thought provoking and raw. Real and expressive. Life at its best and worst. Bright Minds Empty Souls captures more than a few emotions and will, without a doubt, make readers feel. Jennae Cecelia proves once more than she is an underrated talent and will only continue to grow as a writer in what will sure to be a long career.
