Upcoming Event: [Recommends] Planet Middle Age

Wednesday 21 July 2010, 7pm - Wednesday 21 July 2010, 11pm

greenroom, Manchester

Gerry will be performing, assisted by fellow northwest poets and playwrights Jackie Hagan (host), Cathy Crabb, Rosie Garland, Michelle Green & Marvin Cheeseman.

Picking up from where his previous collection Planet Young leaves off, Gerry’s second installment of autobiographical poetry intimately explores his own love, grief, friendships, family and journey into Planet Middle Age. It’s a journey with jostling and lost tickets, the strength and vulnerability of first-hand secrets and seats warm from the strangers that sat there before, and the intensity and passion that takes us from one planet to another.

“In his last collection, Potter wrote about killing off his alter-ego Chloe Poems and discovering his Scouse voice. His true voice has never been more expressive than in this latest collection. Middle age has not dampened his talent. Here are poems that will amuse, move, inspire and provoke. Long may he continue.” - Paul Burston
