Paul Hugh Howard Potts (19 July 1911 – 26 August 1990) was a British poet and the author of Dante Called You Beatrice (1960), a memoir of unrequited love.[1]
Born in Datchet to a Canadian father and an Irish mother, Potts was educated in Canada, England and Italy, but from the early 1930s he lived in London. He frequented the Soho-Fitzrovia area where he would sell broadsheet copies of his poetry in the streets and pubs.[2][3]
Among Potts's literary friends were George Orwell and the English poet George Barker.[4][5] Potts's memoir of Orwell, "Don Quixote on a Bicycle", appeared in The London Magazine in 1957,[6][7] and his 1948 essay “The World of George Barker” appeared in Poetry Quarterly.[8]
