  River Dart runs through Dartomoor and Devon towards Cornwall. The poetess (and gardener) Alice Oswald have been working two years on this long poem where the voices and the lives of different beings (naturalists, tourists, fishers, young boys, animals, workers) tangle with the sound of the flowing of the water to the unknown, distant sea. The movement of the river is suggested even graphically in the poem thanks to the alternation of very long verses which almost end in prose and short, broken ones as drops dripping from the leaves, as stones emerging from the current.
