Synopsis

Powerfully articulating themes as diverse as relationships, childhood, serial-killers and gender, this passionate and thought-provoking new collection showcases Rosie's affecting and award-winning poetry. And, as with her previous collections under the guise of alter-ego Rosie Lugosi, it has a deliciously determined bite.

Reviews

Give me heat. I want to singe my fingers.
I want them sticky, messy, down and dirty,
I want life and all it costs.

- from "Love Bites"

"Rosie has an eye for the unusual detail. Candid, tender and surprising, these are poems about love and longing, myth and mirrors, the self and the other self. Things I Did While I was Dead packs a powerful punch" - Jackie Kay MBE, poet & novelist

"Hugely entertaining, tough-talking … a celebration of female sexuality, of power and liberation" - Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate

"One of the country's finest performance poets" - Apples and Snakes

"She is the mistress of language, whether it's making you laugh or informing your emotions. Here is a courageous artist with guile and expertise in equal measure" - Gerry Potter, poet, playwright & director
