Whilst touring in the sweltering heat of the summer of ‘26, Robin decided to avoid the boredom that comes with train delays due to swollen rails by creating a poetry challenge.

On each journey, he asked people to request a poem on whatever they wished. From hummingbirds to Clive James, this book is the result of frenetic creativity in overheating carriages.

Illustrated by Joanna Neary.

“Robin has written these thoughtful, charming, insightful poems while travelling from gig to gig by train. They are literally poetry in motion.” Alexei Sayle

“Improv meets poetry – wonderfully silly, quirky and poignant.” Prof. Alice Roberts

“This poetry collection turns parasocial relationships into genuine connections, with prompts from strangers spun into funny, touching, humane gold. I laughed out loud many times, and honestly, I am a tough crowd.” Louie Stowell
