These poems speak plainly about thoughts many consider taboo, or believe they must carry alone, illuminating what so often lives in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith tenderness and honesty, Leslie's work does not seek to resolve fear, but to sit with it-giving it purpose, shape, and voice. Rather than offering easy answers, the book opens a space where dread, doubt, longing, and self-reckoning can be named without shame. Her hope is simple: that readers recognize themselves in these pages and feel less isolated in what they experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending evocative poetry with striking photography and fine line illustrations, what am i afraid of creates an intimate, reflective reading experience-part art object, part confidant. The visual elements deepen the emotional terrain of the poems, echoing their silences and intensifying their revelations. Each page becomes a small room you can step into: a moment to pause, breathe, and meet the work-and the parts of yourself you're still learning to name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its core, what am i afraid of is a companion for anyone living with anxiety, grief, or the quiet pressure of unspoken thoughts. It honors the complexity of inner life: how fear can be both a warning and a story we tell, how loneliness can sharpen perception, how naming the unsayable can soften its hold. These poems do not demand transformation; they offer recognition. And in that recognition, they offer relief-the sense that even the most private spirals have a language, and that language can become a kind of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53086334058803,"sku":"9781968226060","price":35.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/jQYdT8H4iq9781968226060.webp?v=1772054511","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/what-am-i-afraid-of-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
