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 forward and tell you the
two minute life of rain starting right now lips open and lidless
cold all-seeing gaze
