Travel with my Rants

Poetry at Books and Beans presents the launch of Aberdeen poet and host of Per-Verse! Richie Brown's debut pamphlet Travel with my Rants published by Blue Salt. Joining Richie is the "poet of disappearing Aberdeen", Mark Pithie, with a sneak preview of his upcoming chapbook.

Copies of Travel with my Rants will be on sale at the event and Richie will be on hand to scrawl his name over your copy should you wish.

Richie Brown was born in Elgin in the late 70s but waited over thirty years before troubling the world with his poetry. In the meantime, he devoured the work of such influences as Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, Ivor Cutler and The Beano in pursuit of a unique poetic punch. Travel with my Rants is his first poetry pamphlet, published by Blue Salt.

"He has an eye for a title, a pun and a clever turn of phrase, whilst his other eye is winking knowingly at you." (Eddie Gibbons)
