Synopsis

WEEMOED IS A POETRY BOOK SOCIETY RECOMMENDATION FOR WINTER 2017. The Dutch word for melancholy, Weemoed , could be read according to Vincent Van Gogh, as a combination of sadness and courage. In his first collection of completely new work since 2008 s Keeping Time, Dooley considers the persistence of the past in the present with poems that are witty, elegiac and intelligent. While it remembers the dead throughout, Weemoed is a collection brimming with life, whether updating Arthurian legend, exploring the British seaside or taking a sideways look at contemporary controversies.
