There are angels in the northwest
They swear and fight
Knock seven kinds of shite
Out of clouds and fairy dust.
Whisper sweet nothings to
Shooting stars
Prop open clubs and bars
Don't make noises when they
Cry.

- from Manchester

An unavoidable delicacy from one of the the UK's most accomplished performance poets: the divalicious Chloe Poems.
Riding the sound waves of Manchester, this bountiful pamphlet is a collection of ideas and "first draft explosions" exploring the people and the places which have stirred creativity and shaped the gingham diva's muse.
With first draft pen pic illustrations by Paul Neads.

Gay scouse socialist transvestite icon Chloe was the alter-ego of poet, playwright, director and actor Gerry Potter. Gerry's first collection sans gingham is also available from Flapjack Press.

"Chloe Poems is an inspiration. Heroic, poetic and honest" - Mike Garry, poet & author of 'Mancunian Meander'
"At the end of the last century and over into this one, Chloe Poems held the poetry scene together in Manchester with her own lovely bare hands. She is simply one of the greatest live poets you will find" - Neil Bell, poet & actor
