Alice is currently poet-in-residence at The Dartington Hall Trust, creating a walking poem for Party in the Town in April, and will be both leading a course and performing at Dartington International Summer School & Festival 2017.
The collection ‘explores life’s losing struggle with the gravity of nature and is designed to be read aloud’. The judges said of the work: “We were all in awe of this book – please read it!”
The Guardian’s five-star review for Falling Awake declared “…whether it is for struggling houseflies, a dying swan or a Roman water nymph made of bone (Oswald’s alter ego?), her sympathetic intelligence never falters. The collection’s title is spot on. (The reviewer) cannot think of any poet who is more watchful or with a greater sense of gravity.”
Falling Awake can be purchased at Totnes Bookshop or in Dartington’s Visitor Centre.
