Fishermen become owls; a woman turns into a snake, while another gives birth to a tree; a glow-worm might become a wasp or 'a toy on standby'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStruck through with brilliant, sometimes sinister imagery reminiscent of \u003cem\u003ePan's Labyrinth\u003c\/em\u003e or an Angela Carter novel, \u003cem\u003eThe Shipwrecked House\u003c\/em\u003e is a lyrical and hallucinatory debut from a poet featured in Salt's \u003cem\u003eBest British Poetry 2012\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaire Trévien\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Brittany.
