Levi Gould reads ‘Love Letter to Myself’ – part of Stockport’s Real Public Art Show

Levi Gould, who is originally from Trinidad and Tobago, is celebrating Stockport Town of Culture’s Real Art Show with a poem – ‘Love Letter to Myself.’

Levi is a gay man, something that caused him challenges and his catalyst for moving to the UK. Through his poetry, he has learned to be comfortable in his own skin; he has been able to learn to be even more comfortable with himself by moving from Manchester to Stockport.

A Karaoke DJ by night, Levi has lived in Stockport for approximately three years, and he has just received his leave to remain. He has volunteered with Stockport Council at Stockport Moves and now at Stockport war Memorial Art Gallery. He has recently been a portrait model for Stockport Art Guild.

“Realising that not perfect, is perfect … more importantly, love yourself like nobody is with it,
that’s the biggest message in my piece of poetry.”

To read and see works of art, inspired by Stockport and created by Stockport people, visit the Real Public Art Show at Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery until 21st September – full details and opening times can be read here
