"In Miguel Eichelberger's Everything Is, we are given poems both clear-eyed and unafraid to wear their heart on their sleeve. With honesty and surprise, Eichelberger takes us through grief's most tender and most clinical moments, the poems working together like light on faceted glass, culminating in a collection that shines."

"In this stunning work, Miguel Eichelberger manages to excavate his own experience of grief and transform it into exquisite language that makes anyone who has ever grieved—in short, everyone—feel seen and known. With an unflinching yet compassionate eye on his own interiority and the way it connects him to his fellow humans, he guides us through the landscape of pain and the gifts that are buried within it. This is a collection that will remind you that you are not alone, even when you are missing someone with all your heart, and that will make you feel grateful to be alive, even when that life is difficult."

"Miguel Eichelberger's Everything Is is a book of love poems about the loss of his father. For those of us who have experienced such loss, Eichelberger evokes the deeply familiar disembodiment, the slow unwinding of the first minutes and hours. He takes us back to the place where we first begin that long wait for forgetting, the fading of details, the healing of grief. I had not thought I would ever want to go back, but the intimate, graceful shock of these poems allows it. Imagine my gratitude to discover that I have not forgotten. Not at all."
