Dour poet shaken and dragged out of bed? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uprooted

'dragged out of bed?' is the definition.

'dour poet shaken' is the wordplay.
'shaken' is an anagram indicator.
'dour'+'poet'='dourpoet'
'dourpoet' anagrammed gives 'UPROOTED'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for uprooted that I've seen before include "Pulled out of the ground, a tree perhaps" , "Torn from natural habitat like plant" , "Pulled (plant) out of the ground" , "Displaced from home into a foreign environment" , "removed by force" .)
