Produktbeschreibung

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace, a Reese's Book Club Pick, comes a debut poetry collection that paints a moving portrait of a rich life from childhood to love to marriage to motherhood to divorce and beyond. "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"
