Book Review: i see in words by Carly Jennings

I felt very lucky to receive a copy of i see in words, a book of poems around living with a thyroid condition (as well as other chronic illnesses).

i see in words book reviewIt was a great book to flick through with a cup of tea and many of the poems resonated with me.

The book i see in words is written by writer, poet and chronic illness advocate Carly Jennings. Living with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, ME, adrenal fatigue, POTS and more, Carly began penning poems around the belief that beauty can exist in darkness and with the wish to turn her challenging experiences in to something useful, creative, honest and unique.

The topics her book covers include not only her health conditions, but also thoughts on self care, time spent on social media, relationships, reading and the power within yourself. I have included some of the poems I really related to, below.

The book is split in to two parts, with one part containing all of the poems and the second part covering Carly’s health journey and personal experiences of putting the book together.

You can read through the book in one or two settings, or pick it up and read poems in isolation. Some poems would linger in my head and come back to me as I went about my day.

Overall, it was a really thought provoking, spiritual read.

You can get a copy of this book from Amazon on the link below.
