In Memorial, her unforgettable transformation of the Iliad, Alice Oswald breathed new life into myth. In Nobody, she returns to Homer, this time fixing her gaze on a minor character in the Odyssey-a poet abandoned on a stony island-and the sea that surrounds him. Several voices drift in and out of the poem, though there are no proper names, we recognize familiar characters and the presiding spirit of Proteus, the shape-shifting sea-god. Readin...

In der Lyrik der Gegenwart ist Alice Oswalds Werk einzigartig, ein Plädoyer für die Dimension des Hörens, ein Lauschen auf die feinen lautlichen Differenzen und ein Rückgriff auf eine Lyrik, deren lebendige Farbigkeit sie für uns neu entdeckt: Homer steht wieder am Horizont. Alice Oswalds Gedichte entstehen aus der Stimme. Wie Homers Epen sind sie gesprochene Ereignisse. Auf ihren Lesungen trägt sie ihre Lyrik stehend und auswendig vor. Ihre ...

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.

Falling Awake, winner of the Costa Award for Poetry, "give[s] us the sensation of living alongside the natural world, of being a spectator to the changes that mark our mortality" (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker).
