Further DetailsTitle: Falling Awake Condition: New Description: 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). Falling Awake expands on the imagery of fallen soldiers from Homer’s Iliad portrayed in her previous volume, Memorial—defining life as a slowly falling weight, where beings fight against their inevitable end. Oswald reimagines classical figures such as Orpheus and Tithonus alive in an English landscape together with shadows, flies, villagers, dew, crickets—all characterized in tension between the weight of death and their own willpower.FROM “VERTIGO”let me shuffle forwardand tell you the two minute life of rainstarting right nowlips open and lidless cold all-seeing gaze Author: Alice Oswald ISBN-10: 0393355454 EAN: 9780393355451 ISBN: 9780393355451 Format: Paperback Country/Region of Manufacture: US Item Height: 211mm Item Length: 140mm Genre: Poetry & Drama Subtitle: Poems Publisher: WW Norton & Co Release Date: 02/27/2018 Language: English Item Width: 8mm Item Weight: 107g Release Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
