Gerald Parker

There's not much to tell. I'm originally from Liverpool but have been living in London since 1970. I read a lot of poetry and I read my own poetry regularly. I hope other people read it and derive as much pleasure out of it as I do. My output is small, about 120 poems as I am only an occasional poet. Most of my poems are based on my own experiences, including some sad ones. About thirty have been published in UK poetry magazines a long time ago: in Outposts, Envoi and The Rialto. When I am not reading, I enjoy theatre, cinema, classical music, jazz, gardening, travel and walking my dogs with my wife.
