Gill Hague’s latest collection of short stories and poems celebrates the lives of remarkable people, most of them unsung, in all their bravery and valour. This powerful and very varied book captures both pain and dreams. It is the fourth poetry collection she has written or compiled.
For 50 years, Gill has been a well-known activist and researcher on violence against women, working internationally, receiving various national honours and awards, and authoring 140 publications including nine books, many raising the voices of women abuse survivors. Gill Hague is Professor of Violence Against Women Studies at the University of Bristol and
Co-Founder of the Centre for Gender and Violence Research 1990
“Ordinary Extraordinary is a remarkable and potent book of poetry and prose that viscerally chronicles the lives of so-called ordinary people who live extraordinary lives. Gill Hague’s work brings light into darkness and celebrates the wisdom of the heart.”
Dr. Nancy King, PhD, novelist, essayist, playwright, storyteller,
and author of Breaking the Silence: A Memoir (2022), Santa Fe, New Mexico
