I get off the bus on Bensham Road. I’m meeting Lisa Shaw from BBC Radio Newcastle at The Comfrey Project. I don’t really know what she wants to do, I vaguely know it involves recording my voice while I deliver poems. Continue reading “BBC Newcastle”
My next stop as a Door-to-Door Poet was Bensham. It’s common knowledge that there’s a big mix of religions and nationalities living here, especially Orthodox Jewish and Eastern European.

I head over to Andrea’s to drop off her poem about what it means to be a cool girl. I’m feeling pretty confident; I think I’ve done a good job on this one and I reckon she’s going to like it. Continue reading “Cool Girl”
