Description: The poems in this collection from Fiona Sampson offer a woman's perspective on the problems of identity, grief, loneliness and ill-health. "Rough music" is an old English custom of public scapegoating. In this book of disturbing musical echoes, brilliant renewals of carol, charm, folksong and balland explore violence, loss and belonging.
