Dart

Over The Past Three Years Alice Oswald Has Been Recording Conversations With People Who Live And Work On The River Dart In Devon. Using These Records And Voices As A Sort Of Poetic Census, She Creates A Narrative Of The River, Tracking Its Life From Source To Sea. The Voices Are Wonderfully Varied And Idiomatic - They Include A Poacher, A Ferryman, A Sewage Worker And Milk Worker, A Forester, Swimmers And Canoeists - And Are Interlinked With Historic And Mythic Voices: Drowned Voices, Dreaming Voices And Marginal Notes Which Act As Markers Along The Way.
