The Quiet Things We Keep (Poems from a Lifetime) is a heartfelt collection of poetry spanning decades of observation, memory, love, and reflection. In this deeply personal debut collection, Peter McGhee draws inspiration from ordinary moments, the people he has known, and the changing world around him.
Born in Fraserburgh and raised in Peterhead, Peter has spent a lifetime quietly capturing thoughts and experiences through poetry. His writing speaks with honesty, warmth, and wisdom - exploring themes of family, ageing, loss, humour, nature, and the small moments that often stay with us the longest.
These poems are thoughtful, accessible, and rich with lived experience, offering readers a glimpse into one man's reflections across seventy-five years of life. Whether touching on childhood memories, relationships, or the passing of time, The Quiet Things We Keep is a collection that reminds us of the beauty found in everyday life.
Perfect for readers who enjoy reflective poetry with heart, sincerity, and a strong sense of place.
