Writing has been a lifelong interest of "The Chronicles of Narnia" star Georgie Henley, and as her career has progressed, she's been able to apply that passion to her work as an actor, getting behind the camera and creating short films. But, she's also pursued other creative writing opportunities outside of the entertainment industry.
Henley published her first poem, "Common Ground," in 2018. This spurred the actor to pursue her poetry more seriously. Explaining her creative process to Country & Town House, Henley said: "I had a lot I wanted to say, and my world was expanding tenfold ... and then when the pandemic happened I thought, 'I don't want to have any creative regrets, I want to be brave and take the leap and put them into the world.' I feel like poetry can be an outstretched hand."
In 2020, Henley had another poem, this one titled "Blush," published in a poetry anthology by queer authors. The publishing company, Fourteen Poems, then released an exclusive collection of Henley's work in 2023. Titled Amphibian, the pamphlet of poems explores gender and the body. "These poems are sensual, entrancing, feminist and powerful," the synopsis explains, per Fourteen Poems. Sharing a peek inside the book on Instagram, Henley wrote: "Making this little green book has been such a labor of love and I am so humbled and glad that it has resonated with people."
