Publisher Description
Over the past three years Alice Oswald has been recording 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 a narrative of the river, tracking its life from source to sea. The voices are wonderfully varied and idiomatic - they include a poacher, a ferryman, a sewage worker and milk worker, a forester, swimmers and canoeists - and are interlinked with historic and mythic voices: drowned voices, dreaming voices and marginal notes which act as markers along the way.

Dart
Beautiful poetry so evocative of landscape and people and belonging to place. Read and re-read a treat.
WOW
I think this is one of the finest prices of poetry I've ever read and I'm picky!!!! Really you mustn't just take my word for it, read it it's just great.
