Who is the Door-to-Door Poet?

Available for over a year

Poet Rowan McCabe meets ordinary people and brings poetry into their homes, or rather their doorsteps. Born and raised on a council estate in Hebburn, South Tyneside, Rowan has appointed himself the world's first Door-to-Door Poet. He has travelled to the UK's most complicated, divided, and isolated places, knocking on strangers' doors and asking them what is important to them. He then writes a poem about their unique stories, their unexpected passions, and their fears, before performing it on their doorstep, free of charge. It's sort of like the Avon lady, but with rhymes. Hear a brand new adventure which takes him to Donegal, Ireland in a bid to reconnect with his heritage and his poetry.
