J’s Words is a soulful and reflective anthology of poetry that dives deep into the human experience. Jah-Femi Telewa captures the essence of love, faith, and life’s intricate nuances through 50 thoughtfully crafted poems. The collection spans themes of spirituality, time, and the complexities of emotions, offering a heartfelt journey through the poet’s perspectives. From the first poem, “Random Thoughts,” to the poignant closing notes, it’s clear that Telewa writes not just with a pen, but with his soul.

The writing feels deeply personal yet universally relatable. Poems like “Valentineless” stood out for their raw honesty and wit, challenging the commercialized notions of love. The poet’s choice to reject the idea of setting love to a single day resonated with me. This rebellion against conformity is a recurring theme, making the book feel refreshingly candid. Another highlight for me was the spiritual undertone running through poems like “My Lord GOD” and “Mighty One.” The reverence for a higher power adds a layer of depth and vulnerability to the collection. Telewa captures faith with an authenticity that feels neither preachy nor detached but instead intimate and raw. At times, the collection felt heavy, with poems like “Dark Times” and “Resurrection” plunging into the darker aspects of life. These poems were stark reminders of the struggles we face and the resilience required to overcome them.

J’s Words is a remarkable collection that speaks to the seeker, the lover, and the dreamer in all of us. Telewa’s use of imagery and rhythm is compelling, though some poems can feel dense or repetitive in their reflections. This book would be an excellent read for anyone who enjoys poetry that tackles life’s complexities head-on while still leaving room for moments of beauty and grace. Whether you’re drawn to love poems, spiritual musings, or reflections on life’s meaning, this collection will likely strike a chord.
