Alice Oswald is an award-winning poet with an ever-growing reputation. She studied Classics at New College, and has in recent years increasingly visited Oxford and the APGRD. In 2012, she performed her poem Memorial, an ‘excavation of the Iliad’ for us, and she returned to the Archive in October 2016 to perform from her latest collection, Falling Awake and from unpublished work-in-progress. She was Oxford Professor of Poetry 2019-2023, when she collaborated with APGRD and DANSOX on Moon Viewing - a Postal Poetry Performance and our 10 hour overnight event, All-Night Epic.
