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"

self contained!
Format: Kindle
What comics have been missing for years that has made collecting them a drag has been the loss of single issue tales that connect to a larger story. This has it as well as some great art and bat electric gauntlets. I love it. Can’t wait to read more.

Amazing
Format: Hardcover
What can I say about this Absolute series other than it being absolutely perfect! All of them in the whole series are a very good read. They are colorful and artistic, and the stories are great! I was starting to get worried about comics before these came out because they were starting to get boring but wow, these are amazing.
