"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+.
