  • Gravitational Waves

     
    Pascal quailed at the scale
    Of the solar system
    The 'terror of infinite spaces'
    (Reassuringly vague)
    How would he have felt
    If he knew what we know?
    That the sun is just a grain of sand
    On the massive beach of the Galaxy
    Which itself is j

  • Super Blood Moon

    Amarone moon

    Dark fermented red

    A couple whisper in the doorway

    Before they go to bed

     

    A fox stops in the arches

    Glances at the moon and back

    To the red eye of the signal

    Hovering over the track

  • Mid-day Torpor, Pale and Vague

    This is my version of Eugenio Montale's celebrated poem 'Meriggiare pallido e assorto' (original Italian here) , first written in 1916.

    The date is significant. Though the poem appears as an anti-idyll, nature poem, it's actually permeated by the carnage of World War I.

  • While Searching Through Some Old Files - a Startling Discovery

    At least startling to me. 

    Last night, while using a search function to find (unsuccessfully) a recent translation of Rilke poem, I stumbled across this sequence dated 5th May 1998. 

    This is starlling to me for many reasons. Firstly, I have no memory writing it. Many of the lines and theme re-em

Live Tweeting

Over the last few years I've created some attention with my live coverage of the phone hacking trial in London, the most expensive and longest concluded criminal trial in British history. There are various accounts and articles about this on the web, including a radio play. My Twitter feed can be found here, and a collation of evidence from the trial, and all my live tweets, can be found at my Fothom Wordpress blog. There's also a Flipboard magazine and a Facebook Page. My Klout ranking is here.

More Journalism and Books

Various journalistic articles of mine are scattered throughout the web. There's some kind of portfolio at Muckrack. The most extensive reporting is for the Daily Beast and Newsweek, but there's more at the New Statesman, the New Republic, Aeon etc. I have two non fiction books published in the last year: The Fall of the House of Murdoch, available through Unbound or Amazon, and Beyond Contempt: the Inside Story of the Phone Hacking Trial, available via Canbury Press or also on Amazon. I am currently contributing to a new site for open source journalism, called Bellingcat, and advisor (along with Sir Harry Evans and Bill Emmott) to an exciting new crowdfunded journalism startip Byline. 

Getting in Contact

My generic email is my first name at peterjukes.com. That should get through to me pretty quickly. My Linked In profile is here. For non journalistic inquiries, for television stage and film, contact Howard Gooding at Judy Daish Associates. Examples of my television work can be found on IMDB. This links to the site for my forthcoming musical, Mrs Gucci. My radio plays can be found in various audiobook formats on Amazon and elsewhere.
