Planet Young cover

"There's no point jangling if you don't hear the jingle." Gerry Potter, creator and destroyer of the infamous gingham diva Chloe Poems, welcomes you to his first collection of domestic/fantastic theatre-verse. Biographical, confessional and rich with spell-weaving imagery, Planet Young is a magical history tour, thrusting you forever forward through Liverpool's Scottie Road before brake-slamming and horn-pounding into a wider world. Adult Poetry and playscript. LGBTQ+.

Praise for the author: "Enormous talent." Gay Times; "A compelling advocate." The Independent; "Enviable panache and style." Angela Heslop, BBC Radio; "Everything poetry should be, and all too often isn't." Time Out; "A comrade in words - and what a comrade." Rosie Garland, poet & author; "Gerry is about intelligence and argument and politics and protest. So must we all be." Roger Hill, broadcaster & writer; "Intelligent, humane and searching poetry that makes us all ask who we are and who we want to be." Dr Jo Bell, National Poetry Day Director
