George Weekes writes poems and books for all age groups, and sometimes reads his work on
television.
My parents moved 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 good 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 bookshop is much more friendly than a big store and I’m always happy
to talk to customers about my books.
I’m 36 years old now but I don’t really like 36-year-old! 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 writing.
Sometimes I go for a run along the river. There are flowers and animals and even some cows there, so
it like being in the country. I live and work in a city but inside I am still a country person.
