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!

Great reviews for Bronte 200 commissioned poem
Written on Sunday, 18 March 2018 14:12
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.Check out the Gig List page for further details!
