Full Description To some extent Louder Prayers resembles an earlier anthology of my work entitled 'Gain of Function' , with its reliance on new poetry, some of it first published on the internet. Yet it also has a strong relationship to my previous volume called 'Summer With The Gods' - where this new book asks for 'Louder Prayers' combined with a further search around the edges - those still unexplored areas not quite touched on before. It is certainly a further development of my writing style, and although its physical presentation is designed to give the feel of a prayer book, it is an honest proposition and not in any way disrespectful, sarcastic or facetious. Another strength of these poems is a legitimate need to touch on a number of social issues - coming at them in abstract ways. Since I do not favour any political or social leaning, there is no attempt to sway the reader. Yet I feel my observations, political or religious, need at least to be aired - or what's the point? In no way is my work an exercise in demonstrating pc notions or pseudo-religious guidance, but words must be allowed to identify potential problems and quasi current situations in a critical or merely heuristic sense.
Autorenporträt
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' 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, such as 'The Laments of the Soul'. 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.
