Everything Is Water is an open letter to caregivers as the speaker grapples with her partner's life-threatening illness, pregnancy and new motherhood, and marriage. Growing up on the Virginia coast, the speaker knows the water's danger and allure--asks, what is beneath, what has control in so much open and unknown space? The speaker continues to feel this unease in everything as she navigates fear, identity, and loss. Everything is water. Everything is the surface tension created by the unknown. The collection often returns to the water and those inhabiting it, but it also looks to winged creatures, those on land, and those who are in between elements as they wrestle with their own survival. Water is an element that sustains and devours. When danger comes, we wonder when it will end. We ask how we can live with loss. Is it easier to run away? To let go? Everything Is Water leaves the reader suspended, treading water alongside the speaker as she seeks to answer these questions.

Who is a new voice in poetry that we need to check out? Someone with a debut book or recent release?
It’s impossible to choose just one! My dear friend Chelsea Krieg’s debut poetry collection Everything Is Water won the TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Prize and was published earlier this year. It’s a tribute to caregiving, motherhood, and the natural world, and the poems are as beautiful as they are fierce.
