I want to go renewable so my streets are less canoeable: 5 poems of hope | Matt Harvey | TEDxExeter

Who knew renewable energy could inspire beautiful poetry? Like a ray of sunshine, Matt Harvey’s witty verse will brighten up your day – and you’ll never look at solar panels the same way again.

Award-winning poet and lyricist Matt Harvey was first official Poet-in-Residence at the Wimbledon Championships (“brilliant”, the New Yorker) and has been commissioned by – among others – the Science Museum, the Open University and the Energy Ombudsman. He has been a familiar voice on Radio 4 since 2001 when he co-wrote and co-starred in One Night Stanza.
