Winner of the 2017 Griffin Prize Winner of the 2016 Costa Poetry Award Shortlisted for the 2016 T S Eliot Award Shortlisted for the 2016 Forward Prize A Daily Telegraph Guardian Herald New Statesman Sunday Times Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year Alice Oswald's poems are always vivid & distinct alert & deeply physically engaged in the natural world Mutability
- a sense that all matter is unstable in the face of mortality
- is at the heart of this new collection & each poem is involved in that drama the held tension that is embodied life & life's losing struggle with the gravity of nature Working as before with an ear to the oral tradition these poems attend to the organic shapes & sounds & momentum of the language as it's spoken as well as how it's thought fresh fluid & propulsive but also fragmentary repetitive These are poems that are written to be read aloud Orpheus & Tithonus appear at the beginning & end of this book alive in an English landscape stuck in the clockwork of their own speech & the Hours
- goddesses of the seasons & the natural apportioning of Time
- are the presiding figures The persistent conditions are flux & falling & the lines are in constant motion approaching from daring new angles our experience of being human & coalescing into poems of simple stunning beauty
