Welcome to me, Peter Shukie, as writer.

To write takes courage. But to really write, to reveal the self through words and to share those with others. That is what truly takes courage. 

We can easily restrict the things we write.  My own working-class experiences have often served to restrict what I share through apathy, aggression, mockery. It has taken a lifetime to transform what is written to what is shared. 

So here it is: my work.  You will find all of it here, academic work, creative non-fiction, fiction, reflections, travel and other genre-free expression. I have included some of my artwork and discussions of that, experimentations with sound and film. 

We can be silenced by many things, but these tend to be the things we must speak most loudly about.  Not through aggression, hate and attack, but through love of the world and what we can be within it.   

I want to share and be involved in networks of other creatives and explorers. I would love that to include you. Thank you for reading and please do contact me to talk, share and maybe create.
