Salt Water - Brianna Wiest
"Salt Water is a slow deep breath, in and out. It sits in a new genre of poetry, somewhere between artistic self-expression and candid self-help. It is a meditation on acceptance, growth, and what it means to be human. Salt Water is the note you wrote to yourself years ago, which you find again when you most need it, that reminds you ‘it’s going to be okay.’"
—Lee Crutchley, Author of How To Be Happy, Or At Least Less Sad
"There are too many words to write and too many things to say about the power of Salt Water. What I can say is that I cried, made many noises of epiphanies, and felt as though I was reading the words of my soul, written down on a page. To say this book is about enlightenment would be an insult. It is the awakening of self, the seeing of light, the acceptance of darkness, and the choice for greatness just as it is right now, within each and every one of us.
—Dionna Chambers, Spokesperson, Motivational Millennial, Creator of Dream Series TV
"With every page I became more convinced that Salt Water is the book you’re going to see everyone with next year. The poems are solid, simple observations that get at the universal. For anyone with questions, Wiest’s poetry offers a new, wholesome perspective, a way to ‘see the fractures as the design.’"
—Chrissy Stockton, creative and partner at Thought Catalog and author of We Are All Just A Collection Of Cords
Brianna Wiest does it again. Fantastic writing of poems that are simple in nature, yet give great depth when it comes to thoughts and emotions. Loved reading each poem, as it provided something unique each time.

To S.B.
Part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time.
I am freed by the same mind that traps me.
—Malanda
Letting go
Is not releasing
It is allowing
What already is
I thought becoming myself
Was improving each part
Piece by piece
But it was finding
A hidden wholeness
Seeing the fractures
As the design
The
