Description
Alice Oswald's latest work is a book-length poem that explores the sea and its stories, drawing on the Odyssey to create a unique and captivating narrative. The poem follows a minor character abandoned on a stony island, but instead of focusing on him, it examines the sea that surrounds him.
The poem features a range of voices, including mythical characters, but no proper names, with Proteus, the shape-shifting sea-god, as its presiding spirit. As the reader follows the poem, they are drawn into a world of sound, light, and water, where the boundaries between reality and myth blur.
This poem is a masterful blend of language and form, with Oswald's poetry taking on the qualities of the sea itself - dense, muscular, and liquid. With its unique voice and captivating narrative, Nobody is an invigorating read that will leave you mesmerized by the power of the ocean.
