Rik Vazquez, performance poet; poetry slam competitor and coach; Dragon tamer, teddy bear smuggler. RIK’s poetry has the ability to silence a room with haunting surrealism or incited a riot of laughter with autobiographical narratives. This is the 13th team he has coached, and he has been quoted saying, “Nothing compares to the vulnerable work of your poets feeling like confetti in my hands.” Rik has been a member of poetry collectives such as Kings Of Pride, Lethal Poetry, Four Star Poets, and Marc Smith’s Speak’Easy Ensemble. The only thing RIK enjoys more than saying words is silently farting in crowded elevators. Now, are you ready for this ride?
