About this listen
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
