FALLING AWAKE

DART

Over the course of three years Alice Oswald recorded conversations with people who live and work on the River Dart in Devon. Using these records and voices as a sort of poetic census, she creates in Dart a narrative of the river, tracking its life from source to sea.

MEMORIAL

In this daring work, the poet Alice Oswald strips away the narrative of the Iliad. The resulting poem is a war memorial and a profoundly responsive work that gives a new voice to Homer's version of the world.
