Born in the village of Haydock, formerly in West Lancashire, Peter is the second eldest of four children born to working-class parents Leslie and Shirley Hill. His earliest influence came from an uncle who was a published poet and gifted artist in oils. After an eight-year hiatus, Peter began writing poetry again during the early part of 2021. Inspiration for poems is drawn from people, life, events and all things related to being human and the human condition.
