My Greatest Fear is Apathy is the debut poetry compilation of youth spoken word artist and college student, M.J. Seja. It serves as her introduction to the literary community but also an archive of the work she wrote from the time she was fourteen to sixteen years old.

Her goal with this book is to be as evocative as possible; to rebel against the political apathy that is so easy to slip into under systemic oppression by connecting the human race with art, as it seems to be our only real key for survival.
