What the Deep Water Knows

From the author of Women's Prize 2022 longlisted novel THE PAPER PALACE comes a beautiful work of poetry looking sequentially at childhood, motherhood, marriage, divorce and mortality. THINGS THE TIDE HAS DISCARDED 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.
