“Breathtaking . . . will change the way you see the world.” —Daisy Goodwin, author of The American Heiress
What the Deep Water Knows by Miranda Cowley Heller is a series of exquisite reflections on love in all its seasons. In poetry that is lyrical and quick-witted, gentle and devastatingly frank, Cowley Heller contemplates time, marriage, and motherhood. Her words will envelop you and bring you to the water’s emotional edge:
“I stand in bare feet at the break,
icy water soaking my cuffs.
A scoop of pelicans dives on bait fish
– relentless, cruel.
Kelp fronds mourn them in the glassy deep.
A hermit crab creeping on to shore
skittles its way across the sand.
In the blue, a soot tern wings loop-the-loops.
And I lift my face into the wind.”
from “Things the Tide Has Discarded”
