Woods etc. is Alice Oswald's third collection of poems,and follows the success of her widely acclaimed river-poem Dart,which was awarded the T. S. Eliot Prize in 2002. Extending the concerns of Dart and written over a period of several years,these poems combine abrupt honesty with an exuberant rhetorical confidence,at times recalling the oral and anonymous tradition with which they share such affinity.

Alice Oswald

Her numerous awards include the Forward Poetry Prize and the TS Eliot Prize.
