Pete Hay
Pete Hay is a Tasmanian poet, essayist, and scholar. His poetry collections include The View from the Non-Members’ Bar, Silently on the Tide, Girl Reading Lorca, and Physick (shortlisted for the Tasmanian Premier’s Book Prize in 2017). His essays have been collected in two volumes, Vandiemonian Essays and Forgotten Corners: Essays in Search of an Island’s Soul (winner of the Small Press Network’s 2020 Book of the Year Award). While his essays often traverse scholarly territory, Pete maintains that they are more poetry than academic writing.
