Showing The World We Can Fly with David Attree

Showing The World We Can Fly with David Attree

This week we bring you the magic of poetry, with our inspirational guest David Attree who is a spoken word performer, as well as a broadcaster, charity fundraiser, long distance cyclist and a paralympi-parent supporting his daughter, Fabs, a GB wheelchair racer On the show, he describes his transformation following serious heart surgery and a stroke and brings along his special keepsake - a Fisher Space Pen. Carrying it everywhere he goes, David tells the touching story of how he came to own it in 2010 and how, since then, he’s been inspired to write and perform poetry. He tells us about the poetry takeaway - a takeaway snack van with three poets inside who cook up poems on the spot. Becoming a poetry chef has given him some extraordinary insights into people's deepest feelings. We were lucky enough to put him on the spot and he kindly recited his poem, 'Appetite' which was on BBC Upload. Giving himself the challenge of writing a poem inspired by the first word he heard on the radio, this thoughtful mediation on creativity will particularly appeal to anyone who has ever experienced writer’s block. David can be heard on The week in words on Allison Fern's BBC Radio show.
