Li'l Book o' small Poems

Gerry Potter is a poet, playwright, actor, director, and both creator and destroyer of the infamous gingham diva Chloe Poems. Gerry trained at Liverpool's Everyman Youth Theatre, and National Museums Liverpool list him among their city's leading LGBTQIA+ icons. A portrait documentary, 'My Name is Gerry Potter', premiered at Homotopia 2015, and 'Planet Young', his debut collection as 'himself', was Bafta-winner Sophie Willan's chosen book on BBC TV's 'Between the Covers'. Gerry has a reputation for putting his Scouse voice on the line, and is strong on poetry and strong on the causes of poetryism.
