1 A Review of Pete Hay's Forgotten Corners : Essays in Search of an Island’s Soul Alyssa Gillespie , 2022 single work review
— Appears in: Otoliths , February no. 64 2022;
— Review of Forgotten Corners : Essays in Search of an Island's Soul P. R. Hay , 2019 selected work essay 'Discovering the soul of something can be as elusive as the wind. Still, Pete Hay searches and catalogues his journey as he does so in his collection of essays Forgotten Corners: Essays in Search of an Island’s Soul. This collection embodies the interdisciplinary approach so favoured by Hay as he looks at an island, Tasmania, through lenses of science, politics, artistry, experience, and heritage. Recurring throughout this collection is the importance of placemaking, not being born to a land but committing to it and following through on the duty of care that commitment entails. Hay’s concept of commitment brings forth a second recurring theme, that of environmentalism. With a delightful array of themes, topics, and narrative tones this collection marries the scholarly with the personal to deliver bite sized essays.'
