Peter's Poems

About the Book

Peter’s interest in poetry writing began 17 years ago when his first grandchildren were born, and is prompted by emotional experiences, tending to focus on medical, religious, family and nature themes. Peter was born in 1946, now aged 74. He went to Southend High School where he gained an open exhibition to study Medicine at Pembroke College Oxford. After four years at Oxford he went to the London Hospital Medical College and then to Great Ormond Street, where he studied Paediatrics. He decided on a career in General Practice and became a trainer, then lecturer and finally Professor of Primary Care in Hull. Always having a strong Christian faith, Peter has been an active member of his local Church. He has four children and eight grandchildren and has enjoyed travelling with his wife Janet, particularly to the east coast of Scotland.
