The poems selected for Black Dog Songs are from the collection If My Black Dog Returns by Richard Beale. An understanding of melancholia is very old in Western culture. It has been called the blues, or simply the beast. Winston Churchill, in a letter, mentioned a doctor famous for curing depression. Churchill wrote that he may have use for him if my black dog returns.


  1. When my father's sperm...

  2. I am smeared...

  3. My friend had a stroke...

  4. When I really want to whine...

  5. Fierce, blinding night!...

  6. On the subway platform...



The poems are grippingly dramatic, and the songs are starkly simple. Emphasis is placed on a clear understanding of the sung word.
