Niamh Donnelly's I Am Me explores the emotional baggage that comes with growing up along with the struggle to find self and purpose. Donnelly's anthology uses raw emotion to create potent images which truly capture the struggle of transforming from child to adult. Donnelly also explores other themes of sexuality and feminism as she questions what femininity means. Filled with raw emotion and striking stories woven into graceful images, I Am Me is worthy of a place on every shelf. With political and religious undertones, Niamh Donnelly masterfully discusses the negative aspects of a society built upon a patriarchy. Donnelly explores how those patriarchal beliefs cause chaos and danger for anyone with two X chromosomes. Venturing further than the biological definition of a woman, Donnelly also dissects the complex development of feminine ideals throughout her work.

Niamh started writing poetry because of a boy, and still a lot of her poetry stems from her unlucky love life but she also writes about mental health, womanhood, self-reflection, coming of age and sexuality. Niamh (she/they) is an Irish 18-year-old. She has been a by-product of the age of technology and she would therefore blame it for her lack of accomplishments but she has so far been published in an anthology titled "Deviant: The Chronicles of Pride". She also survived secondary school, which should be categorised as an achievement for some people.
