Gerry Potter's Li'l Book o' Small Poems

“You’ll never live more life than wha’ I’m livin’ through right now…” Join Gerry Potter on a voyage into social relativism and the domestic/fantastic in a punchy ‘n’ pithy, yet generously discursive, collection. Contemplating both the ingrained and fleeting fears of a life enlightened through c-PTSD diagnosis, these are li’l poems addressing big issues. Gerry Potter is a poet, playwright, actor, director, and both creator and destroyer of the infamous gingham diva Chloe Poems. National Museums Liverpool lists him amongst their city’s leading LGBTQIA+ icons, and he was profiled in the documentary film My Name is Gerry Potter, which premiered at Homotopia. His first collection of domestic/fantastic theatre-verse, Planet Young, was Bafta-winner Sophie Willan’s book of choice on BBC TV’s Between the Covers. Praise for the author: “Everything poetry should be and all too often isn’t.” Time Out “Gerry is about intelligence and argument and politics and protest. So must we all be.” Roger Hill “Enormous talent.” Gay Times “Intelligent, humane and searching poetry.” Dr Jo Bell “Will amuse, move, inspire and provoke.” Polari Literary Salon “One of the most radical forces in performance poetry.” Designer Magazine
