On the down side, however, the poem does have a slightly 'bolted-together' feel about it. (Though perhaps no more so than The Wasteland which it is obviously influenced by.) Also, I have to say that when you first open Dart, the 48 pages of closely printed text is somewhat daunting and will certainly discourage some potential readers - which is a shame as it is full of some lovely descriptive work e.g. 'trampling around at first you just make out/the elver movement of running sunlight/three foot under the road-judder you hold/and breathe contracted to an eye-quiet world/while an old dandelion unpicks her shawl.'
If you like River by Ted Hughes you'll almost certainly like this. Coincidentally the Dart was one of the rivers that also inspired him.
