'That is the Question' is the debut novel of poet John Hilton. A man in a strange room relates episodes from his life into a laptop computer. At least, he claimed they were stories from his life. But why was he there and why did he make these recordings? To be, or not to be? It is a diary of failure. It is a record of breakdown. It is fiction. 'That is the Question' is an complex, emotionally intense roller coaster that explores the fallibility of memory, fantasy, truth and dreams and the difficult places where they sometimes meet.
Within these covers lies the many and varied collected poetic adventures of John Hilton, spanning the years from 1993 to 2016. There are short poems and long poems. Love poems and death poems. Poems that tell stories and poems that paint pictures. There are a lot of characters lurking within. Some of them are nice, some are nasty, many are just confused. This is a big book. It doesn't weigh as much as its author. These are my words. These are my poems. This is me.

The collected poems of John Hilton 1993 to 2015. All of the completed poems worthy of any sort of preservation are here. Poems that tell stories and poems that draw characters.
