Kelsea Ballerini Seeks Out New Creative Venture With Poetry Collection ‘Feel Your Way Through’

Multi-Platinum songwriter, producer, and ACM Female Vocalist of the Year nominee Kelsea Ballerini will release her debut poetry collection, Feel Your Way Through, on Nov. 16. The collection is published by Ballantine – an imprint of Random House – and showcases a jacket image painted by the two-time Grammy nominated singer.

A born storyteller, lyricist, and wordsmith, Ballerini applies her intuition, introspection, and raw honesty to this candid collection of poems. Throughout, she opens up about family dynamics, relationships, and body image as well as confidence, self-love, sexuality, and the lessons of youth she’s picked up along the way.

“I’ve realized that some feelings can’t be turned into a song, so I’ve started writing poems,” Ballerini shares. “Just like my songs, they talk about what it’s like to be twenty-something trying to navigate a wildly beautiful and broken world.”

After recently teaming up with alt-pop trio LANY for her newest single “I Quit Drinking,” the song has quickly amassed over 11 million streams in its first 2 weeks and shot to No. 2 on the iTunes pop songs chart. Ballerini’s current single at country radio, “Half Of My Hometown (feat. Kenny Chesney)” has also racked up over 47 million world-wide streams to date.

The hardcover collection of Feel Your Way Through is available for pre-order now.
