Description

Alice Oswald's Dart is a poetic exploration of the River Dart in Devon. Over three years, she recorded conversations with people who live and work along its banks, weaving their voices into a narrative that tracks the river's life from source to sea. The voices gathered are diverse and evocative, ranging from everyday individuals like poachers and ferrymen to those with more mythic or historical resonance. Oswald skillfully interweaves these voices, creating a rich tapestry of sound and sense that reflects the river's complex character. Through her unique blend of poetry and conversation, Oswald offers a nuanced portrait of this Devonshire waterway, one that is both deeply local and universally relatable.
