Woods Etc.

"Woods etc." is Alice Oswald's third collection of poems, and follows the success of her widely acclaimed river-poem, "Dart", which was awarded the T.S. Eliot Prize in 2002. Extending the concerns of "Dart" and written over a period of several years, these poems combine abrupt honesty with an exuberant rhetorical confidence, at times recalling the oral and anonymous tradition with which they share such affinity.
