Maura Dooley
On her poetry collection ‘Life Under Water’

A mysterious fox, ironing in the British Museum, getting into a lift with Leonard Cohen, and the disturbing, and magical part water has come to play in the collective imagination. These are just some of the themes Maura Dooley explores in her new poetry collection, which has been nominated for a major award – the T.S.Eliot prize. Maura explains to Jenni the sources of her inspiration.
