Sobre IBD

Addiction is the story of a double struggle. It is about the effort of Jeremy Hooker and his wife, Mieke, to combat the alcoholism that eventually contributed to her death. Based largely on the poet’s journal, it contains poems written as acts of survival. The book concludes with a sequence of elegiac poems.

  • Preludes
    Jeremy Hooker
    Preludes are primarily autobiographical poems written in old age. Their principal ’ground’ is the south of England, and especially the area between the New Forest and the Solent, where Jeremy Hooker was brought up. They are, therefore, ’poems of place’, and direct or oblique expressions of the making of a poet. Some deal with raw experience, but the aim in all is what Hooker (a...

But it celebrates the material world too, drawing upon nature and history in H...
