PHOENIX PRESENTER ON ITV'S CALENDAR
Saturday 21st February 2009
| Gez Walsh one of our latest presenters was on ITV's Calendar Friday 20th February in his quest to create the longest poem. www.pottypoets.com/longestpoem.html. Gez Walsh burst onto the poetry scene in 1997 armed with his first collection of children's verse, 'The Spot on My Bum: Horrible Poems for Horrible Children,' which was rapidly to become a cult classic. Written in response to his dyslexic son's need for stimulating, approachable reading material, Gez decided to use humour as his tool to encourage interest. |
| Quickly realising he'd hit on a successful method of providing reluctant readers with enthusiasm, Gez's world of laughter sprang into life. Soon it was not only his son enjoying hilarious performances of these poems but a much wider audience of enthusiasts at schools, festivals, book signings and charity events. |
