Peter Hague has written most of his life and always returned to writing, like it was some sort of duty – a way of explaining the world – or testing it. His five books of poetry, including 'Summer With The Gods', 'Louder Prayers' and 'The Momentary Clock' all display a landmark development of his talent – one defined in a period of re-invention which began to take place around 2016. Also available are ‘Gain of Function’, which is a collection produced during the febrile atmosphere of the pandemic, and ‘Hope in the Heart of Hatred’: a ‘bridge’ between his earlier work and the work he is doing now. A number of other books are in production, encompassing both his exciting current work and a revival of his early output, stretching back to the nineteen-seventies. He has finally decided to concentrate his remaining years on a quest to become a voice in poetry.

His life experience over the previous decades had provided him with a much...
