Publisher's Synopsis
WHAT THE DEEP WATER KNOWS is the debut poetry collection from bestselling author Miranda Cowley Heller, a series of exquisite reflections on love in all its seasons.
In poetry that is quick-witted and lyrical, gentle and devastatingly frank, Cowley Heller contemplates time, marriage, and motherhood, and paints a moving portrait of a rich life.
'A breathtaking collection... these poems map a woman's life with extraordinary precision and skill... Heartbreaking, funny, poignant, hopeful - this is poetry that you didn't know you needed but will change the way you see the world' Daisy Goodwin, Bestselling author of The American Heiress
'What the Deep Water Knows takes you on a shiningly intimate journey....the chaotic narrative of life and loss re-organized to a waltzing beat of poetry. Silken and barbed all at once' Yael van der Wouden, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of The Safekeep
