Writing rhymes for strangers on any subject they choose.
Convinced that poetry wasn’t a “proper” job, Rowan McCabe decided to make it one by becoming the world’s first door-to-door poet. Knocking on strangers’ doors, he asked what mattered most to them, then went away and wrote a poem about it―free of charge―which he later returned to perform on their doorstep.
Ignoring the advice of friends and a local police officer, McCabe took the project to the deprived Byker Wall estate in Newcastle upon Tyne. Nobody punched him in the face. Encouraged, he set off on a tour of England, knocking on doors in Moss Side in Manchester, Jaywick in Essex, the remote island of Lundy―and even Buckingham Palace.
The Door-to-Door Poet is his funny, uplifting account of that journey. Through a series of intimate encounters, McCabe shines a light on a wide range of English communities while exploring what truly matters to people today. Written with the humor of Bill Bryson, with a touch of Louis Theroux, the story is punctuated by McCabe’s own poetry.
This is a warm, charming portrait of England today.
