In the first part of this episode I talk to Rowan McCabe: a poet and performer from Newcastle upon Tyne, famous for being the world's first door-to-door poet!
And in the second part I talk to David, a 17 year old in his last year of school in Glasgow, about Rowan's poem 'Careers Day'.
David tells me that although he finds poetry "interesting" he doesn't feel "creative enough" to really get into it. Despite this, as someone who is currently deciding what to do with their life, he finds Rowan's poem very relatable - more so than the poems about "mythical legends" he's currently studying at school.
