Review

[Oswald] writes a poetry of the natural world saturated with myth. A long poem about the dawn, 'Tithonus, ' may be the most beautiful work I read all year.--Dan Chiasson "Best Books of Poetry of 2016 "

Oswald's choices are subtle at first, as she intermingles stark images -- such as a rotting swan -- with exquisite writing and inserts characters from Greek mythology into the English countryside. These lyrics, while often dark, illustrate poetry's unique ability to shock readers into a renewed awareness of the world.

Alice Oswald's poems are vivid and distinct, alert and deeply, physically engaged in the natural world. . . . [P]oems of simple, stunning beauty.

Nothing is quite like Oswald's 'Tithonus.' . . . Extraordinarily intriguing.

With the sparkle of black jewels; for all poetry fans.

Uncompromising and precise visions of a haunting range of experiences and obscure actions.

Minutely detailed, ravishing, and rapturously observant. . . . [A] perpetual inspiration.--Best Books of 2016

[Oswald] writes with a mind for sounds, syllables, and the patters of speech, informed and inspired by oral storytelling traditions.--Twelve Best Poetry Collections of 2016
