However, he resolved to tackle it back to front, walking home towards the Yorkshire village where he was born, travelling as a 'modern troubadour', without a penny in his pockets and singing for his supper with poetry readings in village halls, churches, pubs and living rooms. Walking Home describes his extraordinary, yet ordinary, journey of human endeavour, unexpected kindnesses and terrible blisters.The companion volume, Walking Away, is published in June 2015.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Book Description      \u003cbr\u003e\nJoin the Poet Laureate on his heroic, hilarious and moving feat to walk the Pennine Way without a penny in his pocket.\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nSimon Armitage was born in West Yorkshire and is Professor of Poetry at the University of Leeds.
