Description
To those who brave the wild waters, it is so much more. Emma Simpson discovered wild swimming after a period of immense pain. Lost in grief and feeling increasingly untethered from the world, she felt the instinctive pull of the water.
There she found an unexpected source of hope and strength, a profound sense of connection, and a glorious sisterhood of women – each with their own remarkable stories to tell. Whether describing the taste of an iceberg or a kiss from a baby whale, Breaking Waves is a love letter to womanhood and the open water.
Hosting the conversation will be award-winning poet and writer, Nina Mingya Powles, author of Small Bodies of Water and contributor to our own Daunt Books collection, At The Pond.
