A madcap literary mission across England
'A book that knocks on doors of language, of possibility, of love and of humanity. Open your door and let this book in ... it's as though the angel of poetry has written a knock knock joke that finds its way to your heart' Ian McMillan
What do you think would happen if you knocked on a stranger's door and offered to write a poem for them?
Rowan McCabe wanted to find out. In doing so, he became the world's first Door-to-Door Poet. He banged on people's doors and asked what was important to them. He then went away and wrote a poem about it, free of charge, which he brought back and performed on their doorstep.
Emboldened to find that nobody punched him in the face, he set out on a tour of England, knocking on the doors of Moss Side in Manchester, Jaywick in Essex, the remote island of Lundy and many places in between. This is the story of his adventures.
Writing with warmth, honesty and humour, McCabe shines a light on a range of communities as he explores what is important to us today.The Door-to-Door Poetis a joyful and thoughtful portrayal of one very unusual mission and the many and varied voices that make up a nation.
