GEORGE WEEKES
Georges Weekes writes poems
and books age groups, and sometimes reads his works on television.
“My parents move to Manchester
from Jamaica just before I was born, but east London has been my home for many
years now. Tourists never come
here. This part of the city has
problems, but there are also many things about it.
People of many nationalities
live in this area, so there are shops with Jamaican bread, African vegetables;
Chinese spices and lots of other interesting things. The shop my wife likes best is one that sells
beautiful Indian dresses. The local
bookstore is much friendlier than a big store and I´m always happy to talk to
the customers about my books!
I´m 36 now but I don´t really
like 36 years-olds! Once people become
30 they think about money too much and say that modern music is too noisy! Almost all my friends here are under 17. I love their language and their music. They give me ideas for my writings!
Sometimes I
go for a run along the river. There are flowers and animals and even some cows
there, so it´s like being in the country.
I live and work in a city but inside I´m still a country person.”
