Overview

The foundation of 'Suspicious Titles' is built with poems from my early period, ranging between 1975 and 1988 that are often directly written as welcome affirmations of the painful struggle that we may all find ourselves facing should we slip through the boundaries of their difficult truths. They are welcome via their attempts at understanding the various dilemmas at their core - the situations and emotional conditions that have us lost and wandering in an existential maze. As an initial proposition, I can say that much of 'Suspicious Titles', though somewhat semi- autobiographical, not only deals with the important details that form the various entanglements of lives, it tends to deal with them in terms of their place in the wider picture and sometimes in abstract and creative ways and from different viewpoints. This is especially true now we are viewing these poems at a distance in time, and although there are two books written earlier than this, 'Suspicious Titles' could certainly be considerd as the first to carry the style of my later work into its own future.

Author Information

Peter Hague has written most of his life and always returned to it, like it was some sort of duty - a way of explaining the world - or testing it. His various books of poetry, including 'Summer With The Gods', 'Louder Prayers', 'The Momentary Clock' and 'The Laments of the Soul' 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, such as 'No Road Home' and 'Suspicious Titles'. 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 in becoming a lasting voice in the pageant of poetry.
