Rowan McCabe: Hard Knocks +Special Guest

Rowan McCabe likes making a nuisance of himself with poetry. Over the past 10 years he’s been poet in residence in a pizza takeaway, in William Wordsworth’s childhood home and, once, on a miniature steam train. He’s also the world’s first Door-to-Door Poet and in 2019 he travelled across England, knocking on strangers’ doors and writing bespoke verses for them, for free, on any subject of their choosing. It’s a project that’s been featured in the Guardian and on BBC Breakfast.

Join Rowan for a collection of all new material that lifts the lid on some of the most funny and challenging moments of this unconventional career path. Expect tales of mistaken identity, odes to self-care, and ruminations on time travelling public officials, all delivered with Rowan’s trademark warmth and wit.
