The Laments of the Soul (back cover) by Peter Hague
As with so much of Peter Hague’s poetic writings, this book includes many semi-autobiographical references as he does what he does best, and draws the world around his own experience, which is considerable and spans many decades. He then talks with it and listens and obtains something approximating truth, beautifully delivered in an entertaining and accessible way. There is no attempt to define a political stance or viewpoint, though Hague plays along with doctrines and politics, while considering them to be both a decadent betrayal and mostly unworthy of intellectual thought.

"This experimental work of prose poetry has me seeking a new range of poetic expression: one that crosses the familiarity of truncated lines to find a different way of controlling the words, and although it may seem at first that these poems are more verbose than my usual style, this is not actually true; there were many edits of beautiful lines that were disregarded in favour of better flow and concise story telling. Overall, I am pleased with the outcome."

"I feel like I am sitting at a dinner table observing him talk and expound and explore the edges of his life and its relation to society, roots, and patriarchy. As the listener and observer, I don’t want to ask questions or interrupt his flow of words, but rather I want to see where he is going next with the topic flow. Absolutely Fascinating."

Wendy E Slater (poet)

"Peter’s language is impeccable and the imagery in this journey is like reading a fiction novel at times trying to figure out where this recommendation journey is leading. The moon perhaps? Just as magnetic is the poetry in this book."

Fevers of the Mind Poetry Magazine

“And there will be no point–
in leaving this stage of earth 
with a full bag of energies –
digging at its grit:”
