It is about reconnecting to a place,\n Suffolk, and understanding what it once held, and what it now holds for\n a woman and her family. These poems unearth the deep, lasting \nattachments people have with the East Anglian countryside, gathering \nvoices of labour, love, and loss with compelling particularity. The book\n is various, unpredictable: memory and magic interweave, secrets tangle \nwith myth. As in her earlier books, Goss again draws on her distinctive \nability to plough difficult, emotional terrain. Here is an anatomy of \nmarriage, her parents' and her own, while the natural world becomes an \narena for the emotional push and pull that exists between mothers and \ndaughters. The return to a childhood home recalls young siblings \nretreating into nature as they steer the adult lives that disintegrate \naround them. Readers will find themselves beckoned to barns, fields, \nweirs, to experience both refuge and disturbance: we are shown a \ncounty's stars, and why a poet needed to return to live under them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47632144073048,"sku":"9781800173217","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781800173217.jpg?v=1764873931","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/latch","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
