Alice Oswald's poems are always vivid and distinct, alert and deeply, physically, engaged in the natural world. Mutability - a sense that all matter is unstable in the face of mort ality - is at the heart of this collection and each poem is involved in that drama: the held tension that is embodied life, and life's losing struggle with the gravity of nature.
