Weemoed

By Tim Dooley

Poetry. 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.
