Vendor Biography

Hello, I’m Garfield Ellis, the storyteller behind POH Books. Born from my desire to document life’s journey—from teaching to business and relocation from Jamaica to London—POH, representing ‘Promoting Our Heritage,’ became my literary venture.

In 2001, the catalyst was a teacher’s wish to share Jamaican culture through Miss Lou poetry. From a Black History month event in Brixton to selling books across Birmingham, Wales, and Luton, POH Books organically grew. Meeting authors like Faustin Charles and Myrna Loy enriched the journey.

In 2012, envisioning a decade of bookselling, ‘Writing a Legacy’ emerged. The project evolved into ‘Keepers of the Flame,’ launching on March 1, 2022, saluting 100 Black authors. Reflecting on the transformation from bookseller to author and publisher, POH Books stands as a tribute to authors—our storytellers, shaping the spectrum of human experiences.
