About Hilary Peach

Hilary Peach is a writer, recording artist, and producer of unusual art projects. For twenty years she also worked as a transient welder in pulp mills, chemical plants, refineries, and power generating stations across Canada and the United States. In 2022 she released a memoir about this time, Thick Skin: Field Notes from a Sister in the Brotherhood. She has a collection of poetry, BOLT, and has released three audio-poetry projects, Poems Only Dogs Can Hear, Suitcase Local, and Dictionary of Snakes. Hilary Peach now works as a Boiler Inspector for the Provincial jurisdiction of British Columbia, Canada.

About Her Book

Thick Skin: Field Notes From A Sister In The Brotherhood is a deep dive into the secret language and hidden culture of one of the most esoteric heavy construction trades: Boilermaking. For more than two decades, Hilary Peach worked as a transient welder – and one of the only women - in the Boilermakers’ Union. Distilled from a vast cache of journals, notes, and keen observations, Thick Skin follows Peach from the West Coast shipyards and pulp mills of British Columbia, through the Alberta oil sands and the Ontario steel belt, to the colossal power generating stations of the eastern seaboard of the United States. At times edging up to the surreal, Thick Skin is a collection of strange stories carefully told, in tenderness and ferocity, for anyone who has spent time in a trade, or is curious about the unseen world of industrial construction.
