Description
Rebecca Goss' fourth and most ambitious collection, Latch, is a study in the act of returning. It explores the connections people form with a place, Suffolk, and the ways in which it shapes their lives. The poems gather voices of labour, love, and loss, weaving together memory, magic, and myth. Goss draws on her distinctive ability to plough difficult, emotional terrain, examining the complexities of marriage and the relationships between mothers and daughters. The return to a childhood home is portrayed as a search for refuge and disturbance, as the natural world becomes an arena for the emotional push and pull that exists between these relationships. Readers will find themselves drawn into the world of Suffolk, where the poet's own experiences and observations come together to create a nuanced and compelling portrait of a county and its people.
