Rick Dove is a queer, mixed-race and neurodiverse poet and storyteller. His work uses a blend of traditional, spoken-word and free-verse styles in order to interrogate the liminal spaces that define our common humanity.

He has been published in an eclectic mix of publications and presses, contributing to spoken word albums and appearing on local and national radio. He is a veteran of spoken word stages across the UK and was crowned the H&T National Poetry Slam Champion at the Royal Albert Hall on 4th July 2021.

Rick’s debut full collection, Tales from the other box, was published in August 2020.
