A Year in the Water: Swimming, Writing, Living

By Beth McDonough

Organised around the calendar year, this is a beautiful and inspirational companion. Through a unique combination of evocative poetry and informative, often funny prose, A Year in Water celebrates the challenges and joys of all-year-round outdoor swimming. Stunningly illustrated throughout, A Year in Water combines quietly humorous and observant prose, inspirational advice, lucid poetry, as well as enticing and restorative waterside recipes. Beth McDonough takes the reader through all the seasons of the year, and into the UK s wild, and more tamed, waters inspiring the reader with practical hints, tips, and advice along the way. With vivid and visceral poems, the reader is placed knee-deep in rivers, lochs and seas without having to get their feet wet!
