Synopsis

Rick once said he could write a series of books in answer to the all-too-familiar question Where are you from? This isnt that book, but it is an attempt, by Rick, to come to terms with the question itself. Tales from the Other Box looks to blend the traditions of minstrel, bard and griot, to paint itself all at once the voice of old soul elder, trickster motif, and the teller of the tale. Concerned with the liminal regions of ethnicity and identity, this collection dances defiantly along the borders existing within individuals, families and wider society, in order to navigate the spaces between received notions of belonging and what it means to be truly at home.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Once voted “most likely to start the revolution” Rick is a queer and neurodivergent poet and activist from London. Born in the socialist utopia of Tooting at the end of Generation X, Rick has witnessed the effects of both increasing multiculturalism and gentrification on the capital, and as such, his work reflects on both societal and personal change and how these two cardinal forces interact as we grow. Dubbed "one to watch" by TS Eliot Prize winner Roger Robinson, Rick’s debut full collection, Tales From the Other Box, was published in August 2020 by Burning Eye and Rick was crowned the Hammer & Tongue UK Poetry Slam Champion 2021 at the Royal Albert Hall.
