Chelsea Rathburn is the author of three full-length poetry collections, most recently Still Life with Mother and Knife, a New York Times “New & Noteworthy” book released by Louisiana State University Press in February 2019. In a 2019 feature, NPR called Rathburn’s work “arresting” and “a gentle whirlwind.” Rathburn has deep roots in the state of Georgia, where her mother’s family has lived since the 1830s. She is currently an associate professor of English-Creative Writing at Mercer University. In March 2019, Rathburn was appointed poet laureate of Georgia, and in 2021 she was awarded an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellowship.
