Summary
Over the course of three years, Alice Oswald recorded 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 in Dart 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.

Beautiful journey on the Dart
A wonderful poetic journey down the River Dart, and made more enjoyable as it is the poet herself reading her work.

Immense and ending at a beginning. What a find
Liberating and well read in the voice of the poet. Will re-listen. Looking forward to a holiday in Tavistock and taking my impression of the Dart
