Publisher's summary

she asked me what it felt like –
to feel at home in my body.
like breathing underwater
like having sunlight for bones
like an ocean for a heart
and chamomile tea for blood.


With these words and more, Emory Hall’s debut poetry collection follows the anatomy of a river, swelling with loss and grief, and dances with the sacred waters of transformation and motherhood.

Full of magic and deep emotion, Made of Rivers will wash anew those who come to it, uncovering hidden corners of the self. It draws upon Emory’s wellspring of experiences, hardships, triumphs and revelations.

Emory’s work sheds light on vital themes of the feminine, healing and self-care, offers solace to those navigating profound loss and strikes a chord with mothers, both seasoned and new, who find their own journey mirrored in her poetry.

I am blown away by the magic of Made of Rivers and Emory Hall. Emory’s words have a way of piercing right through the heart [...] This collection will live on my nightstand for a long time.’ – Jordan Younger, author, podcast host and creator of The Balanced Blond

The audiobook of Made of Rivers features original music by Trevor Hall.

Critic reviews

“Emory’s poetry is breathtakingly exquisite, a window into the heart. I found resonance, love, and beauty on every page.”—Maggie Doyne, author of Between the Mountain and the Sky

“Reading Made of Rivers felt like coming up for air and reminded me why poetry is vital to our world. Emory Hall tenderly offers comfort and wisdom for even the most challenging experiences: love, loss and everything in between. You can feel her heart in every piece. I will return to this collection again and again.”—Allie Michelle, author of The Rose that Blooms in the Night

“Like sunlight pouring into your eyes when you emerge from a dark room. Emory's poems are quietly blinding. Luminous. Here, clear water meets fire. The broken heart grows big enough to contain the whole world. And praise it.”—Mirabai Starr, author of Caravan of No Despair and Wild Mercy
