The Shipwrecked House by Claire Trevien
Anchors, shipwrecks, whales and islands abound in this first collection by Anglo-Breton poet Claire Trevien. These poems are sketches, lyrics, dreams, and experiments in language as sound. Trevien's is a surreal vision, steeped in myth and music, in which everything is alive and - like the sea itself - constantly shifting form.
These are serious, visually stunning poems of nationality, history and memory, but they're personal and generous in their witReading them is like spending an hour in the company of someone you secretly admire. - Luke Kennard
Claire Trevien was born in Brittany. Her pamphlet Low-Tide Lottery was published by Salt in 2011. She is the editor of Sabotage Reviews and the co-organiser of Penning Perfumes, a creative collaboration between poets and perfumers.
