From GBP 6.00

Description

YOUR MONTHLY CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS WORDY 


Headlined by RICK DOVE...

Mixed-race and neuro-divergent poet and storyteller. His work explores themes of identity, philosophy and social justice using a blend of traditional, modern, and free verse styles, in order to interrogate the liminal spaces that define our common humanity.

Rick has had poems published by The Guardian, Untitled Writers, Arachne Press, Nine Pens Press, and The Morning Star. His debut full collection, Tales From the Other Box, was published in August 2020 by Burning Eye Books and he was dubbed "one to watch" by 2019 TS Eliot Prize winner Roger Robinson.

He was crowned the Hammer & Tongue National Poetry Slam Champion 2021 at the Royal Albert Hall on 4th July 2021.

Plus our monthly Open Mic Poetry Slam: Got a new poem or some rap bars you want to share? This is a friendly, welcoming slot open to all regardless of previous experience. Winner gets a paid set at the next Born Lippy. To enter email bornlippywordy@gmail.com or send a DM to our FB: @bornlippyne or Insta: @bornlippyne

FAQ

  • I have not received my ticket via email. What should I do?

    The first thing to do is check your spam/junk filters and inboxes. Your tickets were sent as an attachment and can be thought of as spam by some email services. Alternatively, you can always find your tickets in your Billetto account that you can access in the browsers or the dedicated Billetto app. For more help with this, read here.

  • I wish to cancel my ticket and receive a refund. What should I do?

    The approval of refunds is entirely at the event organiser’s discretion, and you should get in contact with the event organiser to discuss what options are available to you. To get in touch with the event organiser, simply reply to your order confirmation email or use the "Contact organiser" form on the organiser's profile. For more help with this, read here.

  • I have registered on the waiting list, what happens now?

    If more tickets become available you will be notified (by email) amongst others who have joined the list. Purchasing is on a first-come first-serve basis. For more information, read here.

  • Where do I find a link to an online event?

    Check your order confirmation page or order confirmation email. Usually, the organiser of the event provides the details in the order confirmation email or they might send you a follow-up email with a link to their online event. You might also want to read the event description on Billetto where an event organiser should describe how to join the event online. For more information on this, read here.
