All Points Northis part-memoir and part-excursion. Charting the rugged and uneven terrain of a writer's formative years-from tax problems to probation to American tours, football to family to running away to Iceland-Simon Armitage explores growing up and being Northern. It's about humour, language, writing, film, houses, homes, time wasters, one loose tyre, you, me and all points in-between.
