Excerpt from Dartmoor Idylls If, now, the story of John and Joan's adventures during the memorable blizzard of 1891 does appear in print it will not concern that Couple, for neither of them is a reader, for the very good reason that neither of them can read at all. That is something for a man and a woman to be able to plume themselves upon in these days of advanced education. But, although John and Joan are not able to read, and likewise unable to write, they are the joint authors of a literary production which will outlast our century, and that also is more than most authors can say in these days of ephemeral publications.

Excerpt from Christowell: A Dartmoor Tale Upon a pleasant April morning, of the sweet inconstant kind, such as we vainly sigh for now, a gardening man, with a quick step, came into his happy greenhouse. A door from his favourite Sitting-room led into this still more favoured place and the smile, with which he entered, showed that he expected to find pleasure here. It was a long, low, Span-roof house, with no side-lights, and very simple, not even framed with rafters. Yet snug from violence of wind, and bright with every sunbeam, this humble house was rich with joy, for all who love good health, ' and peace.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... an old cross On a long ridge of moor, a thousand feet above the sea, that forms a spur of Dartmoor, running out into the rich umbrageous land below--like certain characters that retain their innate savagery though surrounded by the sweetest culture--stands a very ancient cross--so rude, so shapeless that it probably belongs to a hoar antiquity, unless it were carved in the Middle Ages by a man who was an abject workman. It is of granite. It is covered with a crust of lichen, yellow, white, and black. It is so shapeless that some daring antiquaries have suggested that it was a prehistoric menhir that was hacked into a rude cross to give it consecration from heathen rites. Whatever its origin, it is a curious object; and long may it remain looking down out of its grey lichens on the golf-players who have invaded this tract of down. But a quarry has been opened near it; and year by year those engaged in supplying stone for the roads approach nearer to the venerable cross, and menace its stability. That its existence has been menaced before, these pages will declare. That the menace came to nought is obvious, because it stands still. The Abbot of Tavistock one day passed that way on his mule. "Upon my word, that cross is clean too ridiculous," said he, in the vernacular of the fourteenth century, which I do not attempt to reproduce, as vernacular never was written down save in farces; and there are no farces extant of that early period to tell us what the popular slang was. "I think, Brother Augustine," pursued the Abbot, "I'll have it broken up and a new and respectable cross erected in its stead." "Can't do it," answered Brother Augustine. "Why not?" "Because it is a cross" So it escaped on that occasion. Abbot Robert wouldn't have it said...

Excerpt from Down Dartmoor Way She dwelt in a spot greatly favoured by nature, a valley lying between red sandstone cliffs on the shores of Devon, where man has built himself a hundred little habitations. The sea kisses their feet; forests and green hills spread upwards behind them, for a throne; higher yet, Dartmoor stretches forth a finger and crowns that happy valley. A crown it is of granite and pine, laced about with many a winding pathway of white flint, jewelled with golden furze and amethystine heather.

Winner of the Costa Poetry Award • Shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Award and the Forward Prize “These lyrics…illustrate poetry’s unique ability to shock readers into a renewed awareness of the world.” —Washington Post 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
