The Thing In The Gap Stone Stile by Alice Oswald
A tightly woven sequence of lyrical pieces that inhabits a rural landscape, attending to small lives, weather, animals and the human traces in fields and houses. The poems move between precise natural observation and mythic suggestion, giving voice to ordinary people, local speech and the uncanny presences that haunt hedgerows and stiles; the spare, musical language shapes elegy, humor and sudden tenderness as it explores memory, mortality and the fragile continuity of place.
