Chelsea is currently expanding her work with a four-part poetry collection. The complete edition of Mud Water Will Rise is set to be re-released in Fall 2024, followed by three more books in 2025. Each volume will continue her mission to celebrate and critique the South through raw, resonant verse.
Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Chelsea holds a degree in English Literature from the University of California, Berkeley. Today, she calls Chattanooga, TN home, where she lives with her husband, daughter, and their husky—embracing a modern, elevated version of Appalachian living.
