Alice Oswald ありす おずわるど Winner

Alice Oswald gathers the voices of people along the River Dart and follows the river from source to sea in a book-length poem. Nature, labor, oral memory, and local history overlap in a rhythm that moves like water.

A flowing long poem that weaves river voices, human voices, and the memory of place into one work.
