Water Signs

'Each poem in this startling debut is sensual, powerful and jewel-like. Water Signs is a rallying cry, a love letter, a celebration of sex and sexual pleasure - the refusal to be swept out to sea by trauma.' - Ella Frears

Have you ever fallen in love with the ocean? Or found a strange courage in the rain? Part travelogue, part sexual odyssey, this extraordinary first collection of poems by romance novelist Helen Cox explores the reaches of North England and the unspeakable depths of desire.

Helen's poetry has previously been published in Popshot Magazine, From Whispers to Roars, Riggwelter, Visual Verse and the TL;DR Women's Anthology. Helen coordinates the poetry courses at City Lit, London and teaches an annual poetry masterclass at Keats House.
