Things I Did While I Was Dead cover

"Give me heat. I want to singe my fingers. I want them sticky, messy down and dirty, I want life and all it costs..." Powerfully articulating diverse themes including childhood, relationships, gender and serial-killers, Rosie's first collection since beating throat cancer showcases her thought-provoking and passionate award-winning poetry.

"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; "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; "A national treasure." - Dead Good Poets Society
