In her enthralling third collection, Frances Sackett examines the hidden histories emerging from the land. We meet the Yde Girl, found abandoned in a peat bog in the Netherlands; a ghostly ship and its hidden treasures excavated near Sutton Hoo; and a sunken forest discovered off the Welsh coast. There are poems with fierce empathy for women living in war-torn countries, some in exile, some in isolation, and a sequence for a mother separated from her daughter.\nHumour, and especially her wry wit \u2013 found in the most unlikely places \u2013 provides a playful contrast to her more serious, elegiac moments. Sackett's poetry highlights her love of the landscape, the night sky, sleepy country stations, and her fellow poets.\n\u201CIn the title poem of this beautifully nuanced collection, Frances Sackett\n\nHouse with the Mansard Roof\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the pri;
