Sobre IBD

Peter Hughes, born in 1956, has been writing for 30 years, and this volume sums up his career to date. Already the author of two-and-a-half Shearsman collections, and editor of a Shearsman anthology devoted to poets from his own chapbook press, Oystercatcher, this volume will cement his reputation as one of the UK’s most interesting, and unclassifiable poets.
