‘What The Deep Water Knows takes you on a shiningly intimate journey–you are reader and confidant and you only get to glimpse at what lies below the surface. 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, author of Booker Prize Shortlisted The Safekeep
Join author of NY Times #1 bestseller The Paper Palace, Miranda Cowley Heller, as she discusses her debut poetry collection in conversation with Daisy Goodwin. What the Deep Water Knows, a series of exquisite reflections on love in all its seasons; on a woman’s experience of her family, her marriage, her surroundings, her mortality, her sensuality and her imagination.
Miranda Cowley Heller was raised in New York and Cape Cod, in a family of artists, writers and editors. After graduating from Harvard, she was the books editor at Cosmopolitan, and then worked for a decade as Senior Vice President and Head of Drama Series at HBO, developing and overseeing shows such as The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and The Wire. Her debut novel The Paper Palace sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and was a New York Times and Sunday Times bestseller, and was longlisted for the Women’s Prize. This is her first collection of poetry.
