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.

Milk, Sulphate and Alby Starvation

Punk life in Brixton

I love this book - I've been living between Brixton and Stockwell for almost three years, those places are a bit home for me.

Alby Starvation and Martin Millar are totally crazy and they're the best medicine if you feel lonesome.

Cunning-Folk and Familiar Spirits

Shamanism and fairies

Interesting book, though, in my opinion, misleading in the comparation between the Scottish fairies and the English familiars. Wonderful (and sad) the famous story of Bessie Dunlop the woman from the Highlands that in 1589 was trialled due to he alleged relationship with the fairies.
