A homage to my new favourite film. 'Only Lovers Left Alive' by Jim Jarmusch starring Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton as two vampires who've been in love so long all they care about is poetry, music and each other, but the hunger never goes away.

A potent mix of candid confession, self deprecating humour and aching vulnerability, Lorna Rose’s debut collection is twenty years in the making. In it she explores coming of age to the devils best tunes, the tangled mess of grief, the game changing release of a long overdue sexual awakening and the freedom that comes with finally speaking your truth. Finding calm in the storm through grooming horses, self acceptance through a kiss with a stranger and oneness with the cosmos on a wild swim, these poems tap into the transformative power of desire, trauma and spiritual connection.
Including work from three autobiographical solo shows: ‘Brazen’ a love letter to Jim Morrison and The Doors; ‘NO ENTRY!’ about a very common yet rarely discussed psychosexual condition called Vaginismus and ‘A Virgins Guide to Hiring an Escort’, exploring the joys and complexities of hiring a lover. Unflinching in their breaking down and remaking of the self, the poems chart several periods of intense metamorphosis.

‘A poet of tremendous wit and range, as at home with the fantastical as she is with the familiar’
-Jo Bell

'Caterpillar Soup' Poetry Collection Trailer

Wild Thing

Her shift started at the end of the world...

It is 3 A.M in a cafe on the last road to nowhere. In this cafe there is a waitress. She has no name, past or future and only the radio to drown out the silence.  This poem was developed into an energetic piece of dance theatre, tackling grief, depression and isolation and received a 5 star review at Edinburgh Fringe. It is also a film.

The piece explores the damage done by solitude, the tenderness of unexpected connections and the ultimate peace that comes when we accept the world as it is.

3amWaitress

A homage to Glastonbury, Shambala and anywhere else where you get covered in mud on purpose.

On my channel you can find my solo shows.
'Brazen' is an autobiographical spoken word journey exploring coming of age, the nature of idolatry and the difficulty in just being yourself. Inspired by a deep connection to Jim Morrison and his band The Doors, 'Brazen' explores our complicated relationship with bravery, the transformative power of music and how sometimes, the wildest thing you can do is be yourself.
