Matt Abbott is a poet, educator, and activist from Wakefield. His solo spoken word show 'Two Little Ducks' earned 5* reviews at Edinburgh Fringe 2017 and on a 2018 UK theatre tour. The show's poems were published as his debut collection by Verve in 2018 and explored the working-class Leave vote against the backdrop of the Calais Jungle refugee camp.
