Cold Water Poems

On a Sunday morning in January of 2022 I started my cold water adventure by writing a poem. What started as a prompt sparked a new way of experiencing nature and my body. I invite you to read about my cold water adventures and maybe inspire you to find your own.

The foreign element of water has been most welcoming to me. I will donate all royalties for
Cold Water Poems and Warm Water Poems to the International Rescue Committee.

    Mirjam's first book is a poetic lesson on what can be achieved through challenging one's self to find the courage to try new experiences. Her prose, pictures and poems are beautifully assembled and provide not only insight into such an immersive experience but also, subtly, demonstrates how haiku and poems can be developed from prose.
    It is a sweet book worthy of space on any bookshelf. As her first publication, Mirjam has sent a lovely offering of stillness, humour and surprise into an often jarring world.

    Poet Miriam Mahler shares not only her practice of cold water bathing, but lyrical poems and photos that feel like a beautiful embrace of her cold water. I find myself wanting to try this experience of plunging or even swimming in cold water because of how she has written about it! Truly a lovely book with a mix of poetry styles. Very inviting. Thank you Mirjam!

    I have been curious about what the big deal is with ice-bathing, about being in cold water in the midst of winter, and this book of poems doesn’t disappoint! It explores that feeling through various poetry forms, stories and beautifully refreshing nature photographies. Loved reading it!

    Reading this book during my morning ritual felt like I was right there with writer Mirjam Mahler. Her curation of words to depict her cold water adventures is admirable. If you are curious about ice bathing, love poetry but this book.
