I am a (north) Kent based Poet by night and a Timber Merchant by day.
I currently post regularly as ChrisPorcasPoetry on Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Threads.
I started writing Poetry in October 2023 after a chance meeting in a Gravesend bar on a Live music night when I was invited to come and observe a monthly Poetry reading club there (The Mole Hole micropub) on a Sunday. I went, watched, loved it and started writing my own verse. I have read my self-penned poetry at many venues since including in front of 200 of my fellow Timber Traders at The Royal Horseguards Hotel in London and at The Space, a Speakeasy cabaret and dance venue in Margate. I also regularly support - and appear at - Hypermedia at The Fourth Portal, St Andrews Arts Centre in Gravesend and Big Trouble at Rams/12 Degrees bar in Rochester. In addition, I am part of a Peaky Blinders re-enactment group that performs in authentic-costume gigs in the North Kent area. As part of the act, I read a bespoke ‘Peaky poem’ after the group performs a walk-in to the venue.
I tend to write poetry of a biographical, observational, cultural, humorous, Spiritual or self-help nature and aim to bring entertainment, wisdom, healing and inspiration to someone in my audience.
I can also write bespoke Poetry and gift-frame it for your special occasion and I am interested in musical collaborations.
