Mc Allen: The Poetry Guy

One of my first audio pieces, produced in 2016.

What does a political canvaser do when their candidate loses? If it's Mc Allen, he swaps his clipboard for a poetry book. Producer Emily Shaw brings us the story from San Francisco.

Produced at "Making It Sing" - a Duke University Center for Documentary Studies Audio Documentary Intensive. Special thanks to John Biewen, Shea Shackelford, and George S. Rosenthal.
