Barrow: Poetry lands a punch
Available for over a year
Boxing champion Matt Windle, AKA 'the poet with punch', is reaching people's inner poet, with workshops encouraging men to put pen to paper for the first time. If it sounds unlikely, remember world champion boxer Muhammad Ali, proved he was no stranger to poetry, when he famously said, "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". Its all part of an arts project to get people telling stories about the town.
