In her third poetic anthology, 'Woods etc.', Alice Oswald builds upon the triumph of her T. S. Eliot Prize-winning river-poem 'Dart'. Crafted over several years, this collection expands on the themes explored in 'Dart', presenting verses that meld stark candour with a bold rhetorical flair.
Oswald's latest work echoes the timeless quality of oral traditions and anonymous verse, whilst maintaining a distinctly contemporary edge. Her poems navigate the natural world with a keen eye and a masterful command of language, inviting readers to explore the intricate landscapes of both the physical and emotional realms.
With 'Woods etc.', Oswald further cements her reputation as one of Britain's most compelling poetic voices, offering a collection that is at once deeply rooted in tradition and refreshingly innovative.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
