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.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFROM “VERTIGO”\u003cbr\u003e\nlet me shuffle forward\u003cbr\u003e\nand tell you the two minute life of rain\u003cbr\u003e\nstarting right now\u003cbr\u003e\nlips open and lidless cold all-seeing gaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlice Oswald\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of eight books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eMemorial\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFalling Awake\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Costa Poetry Award and Griffin Poetry Prize.
