The door-to-door poet

Rowan McCabe knocks on doors, offering to write people personalised poems

Rowan McCabe travels the streets, knocking on doors, asking if people would like a poem written about them. It started as a way of passing the time and now he's been given an Arts Council grant to continue his work as Britain's only door-to-door poet.

The 91热爆's arts correspondent David Sillito reports from one of Mr McCabe's rounds in Gateshead and Stockton.
