Born Lippy presents… Crossing the Tees Poetry Slam
Twelve poets go head-to-head in a war of words. There can only be one winner to become the Crossing the Tees Slam Champion and win the
Golden Trophy of Poetry- You decide…
Slam poetry is poetry of the 21st century – combining the finest writing, high energy performances, competition, and audience participation. You are given the power to praise or, sometimes, destroy a poem. So listen, watch, and use your power wisely.
Born Lippy is the North East’s leading event platform for all things wordy. They showcase the best in national, international and local live poetry & spoken word talent in regular wordplay cabaret performances and workshops. They have programmed poetry stages at Lindisfarne, Words Weekender, Summer Streets and Newcastle Poetry Festivals.
