World Book Day Author Visit

As part of our World Book Day celebrations, Christ’s Hospital hosted the brilliant novelist, poet, literary critic and lecturer of creative writing, Dr. Ashley Hickson-Lovence on 12 March.

Dr. Ashley spoke to students from Third Form (Year 8) on the subject of his engaging novel-in-verse Wild East, which is about an East London boy with a dream of becoming a rapper as he navigates his new life in a new city. The students really enjoyed Dr Ashley’s talk, during which they explored important themes about belonging, identity and finding your voice.
