Underwater by Jill Michelle

Underwater by Jill Michelle is an exploration in grief: two pregnancies lost at twenty weeks, a father consumed by Alzheimer’s, a body assaulted, a marriage failing. This collection carries the reader on a tidal wave of emotions, making them fight for every breath. In this visceral collection we see survival and strength, even when the speaker feels only the undertow of emotions. Underwater will carry you along on its current and leave you on the edge of land—breathless and shaken, but grateful for reading and surviving its storm.

Available for pre-order, books will ship late April 2025.
