Great reviews for Bronte 200 commissioned poem
TWO reviews (in Historia Magazine & Northern Soul) of ‘Making Thunder Roar’ at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, and both say great things about my commissioned poem: “Stand-outs are Rosie Garland’s fiery poem, which perfectly captures Emily’s small world and her all-consuming creative drive”
Plus - here's a picture of the display case and my poem in-situ. Enjoy!

Bronte 200 commission
A proud moment. It’s an honour to announce that I’ve been commissioned to write a piece for the Bronte 200 bicentenary celebrations! I was asked to respond to some of Emily Bronte’s personal possessions and my imagination was sparked…
I’ll be joining other stunning writers to unveil our work at a special preview event of the new exhibition ‘Making Thunder Roar: Emily Bronte’. This will be in Haworth on the evening of Friday 2nd February 2018.

Manchester Histories Festival launch

Manchester Histories Festival at Manchester Art Gallery
7th June 2018
The Manchester Histories Festival launch was a great event. I was invited to read my commissioned piece 'Syrinx' next to the painting that inspired it (‘Syrinx’ by Arthur Hacker). And I was surrounded by the paintings targeted in the 1913 Suffragette direct action – a truly atmospheric experience.
Proud to share the evening with marvellous writers Kate Feld, Michelle Green & Maz Hedgehog.
Thank you Manchester Histories Festival!Tags: manchester histories festival manchester art gallery rosie garland syrinx as in judy arthur hacker pursuit of beauty ovid metamorphoses spoken word manchester kate feld michelle green maz hedgehog history feminist suffragette suffragette history women's words women's writing resistance protest -
