Description
A poem in several registers, set at night on the Severn Estuary, explores the subject of moonrise. This work is structured around five distinct forms: new moon, half moon, full moon, no moon, and moon reborn. The poem delves into the unique characteristics of each lunar phase, weaving a narrative that is both personal and universal. Through its use of language and imagery, it invites the reader to contemplate the beauty and mystery of the natural world. Alice Oswald's A Sleepwalk on the Severn is a contemplative and evocative work that explores the intersection of nature and human experience.
