Books by Jae Nichelle
“God Themselves” (2023)
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 wisdom––as seen in the poem “What to Do When There’s Nothing You Can Do”––and witty generational humor––seen in "Sanctity: An Exposé"––into every poem. If you’ve ever contemplated who, what, and where God is, find comfort in these words.
“She Healed” (2019)
She Healed is a collection of spoken word poems by Jae Nichelle, the poet behind the viral poem about anxiety "Friends with Benefits." She Healed includes the text of "Friends with Benefits" as well as other poems on the topics of love, identity, family, mental health, and healing.
