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? \u003ci\u003eEverything Is Water\u003c\/i\u003e leaves the reader suspended, treading water alongside the speaker as she seeks to answer these questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe TRP Southern Poetry Breakthrough Series: Virginia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCHELSEA KRIEG\u003c\/b\u003e was raised in southeastern Virginia.
