Böcker av Pete Gage

This volume of 64 poems contains a small collection of 13 or so poems written by the younger Pete Gage. The final 51 poems in this third volume of Pete's poetry were written from 2021 to 2023, when the poet had come of age. (A ripe old age, you could say!) The themes of loss and love are still in evidence, now and then, along with aspects of Pete's on-going journey of self-discovery. The author has had a successful career in the music industry, including as lead vocalist with the group Dr Feelgood in the 1990s. He lives in Frome, Somerset.

This is the second book of poetry by Pete Gage, blues musician and former vocalist with Dr Feelgood, following 'Fifty-Six Poems' published by Hobnob Press in 2021. It is a collection of a further 44 poems from the hundreds he has written over 60 years, complemented by an equal number of his owncolour photographs. Spread throughout the book are seven sections of a long poem dedicated to his great friend, the esteemed water-colourist David Evans, who was tragically killed in 1987 whilst cycling near his home in Suffolk. The 'Gerontius' in the title of each section is represented by David himself, who moves along his own spiritual journey in death, as in Elgar's 'The Dream of Gerontius'. The author lives in Frome, Somerset, where he is a well known and respected performer on the local musical scene.
