Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Dart by Alice Oswald weaves a poetic narrative of the Dart river in Devon, based on the conversations of the people who live and work on its banks.
What Max Porter Says: “The great permission giver of my reading life. This is a book which is a river. A polyphonic living miracle of a book. All her work is incredible but this is the one that made me believe I could find a form that would be completely bespoke to the emotional work I wanted to do.”
What They Say: “A fine catch, this book of honed verse that glitters and glides like the river itself.” – James Crowden
