  • Presence and Place
    Jeremy Hooker
    Jeremy Hooker’s journal records his close friendship over more than 40 years with the sculptor and painter Lee Grandjean. They have collaborated together and made many excursions together, and shared times at Lee’s Norfolk home. Their relationship continues to be a long conversation, in which each has learnt more about the other’s art, and about their affinities as image-makers...

  • 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...

  • Selected Poems 1965-2018
    Jeremy Hooker
    This volume draws on over 50 years of poetry written by a poet who stands a little askew to the dominant modes in Britain: an Englishman in Wales, and an English poet with a decided admiration for the work of both George Oppen and David Jones, two very different Modernist exemplars, whose work often seems to be admired rather than engaged with in this archipelago. Jeremy Hooker...

  • Word and Stone
    Jeremy Hooker
    Word and Stone is questioning poetry, which explores the ground between language that seeks meaning, and the obduracy of matter, and between life and what seems dead. Its concern is with a sense of the sacred, and the possibility of renewing words such as ‘spirit’ and ‘soul’ in a materialist culture. But it celebrates the material world too, drawing upon nature and history in H...

  • Ancestral Lines
    Jeremy Hooker
    Ancestral Lines is a sequence of poems about ‘the river of desire’ that flows through the lives of a family. In these poems Jeremy Hooker recalls his parents and grandparents, and an elusive great grandfather. He both honours the mystery of personal identity, and celebrates the oneness of life through the ‘lines’ of generations. The sequence conveys a strong sense of places in ...

  • Diary of a Stroke
    Jeremy Hooker
    Diary of a Stroke is a poet’s journal with a difference. After suffering a stroke in July 1999, Jeremy Hooker kept a diary of his experience in hospital and of the subsequent period of recuperation at home, which ended with his return to work shortly after January 1, 2000. As in his other published journals, he observed the life around him, with notations of the living moment g...

  • Openings
    Jeremy Hooker
    In contrast to my settled life in Wales during the 1970s, covered by Welsh Journal, the period represented by this journal was one of movements from place to place and country to country. Following two years in Winchester, and the breakdown of my first marriage, I returned to Wales in 1982 to complete five terms of teaching at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth, befor...

  • Upstate - A North American Journal
    Jeremy Hooker
    Upstate is the journal of poet and lecturer Jeremy Hooker's time spent in North America during the academic year 1994-5. Like his earlier 'Welsh Journal' (Seren, 2001), which covered his first sojourn in Wales in the 1970s, the book muses on his time as an Englishman in a foreign land - albeit a land with which he feels deep ties, both personal and literary. As the author says...
