About Us & Contact

We publish books, release records and organise events. We supply T-shirts and paraphernalia all about our favourite books, philosophers and ideas. We enjoy writing, reading and thinking and so wanted to emblazon our clothing with related witticisms.

As purveyors of our own clothing, literary themed clothing and gifts, vintage clothing, vintage inspired or styled clothing, books, records, curios, antiques, art, craft items and assorted ephemera we travel to events with our Travelling Emporium and put on our own events with Rotten Poetry Presents complete with themed entertainment and lots of atmosphere!

We love to encourage and collaborate with our friends and artists, musicians and craftspeople in events and by providing an outlet for their wares.

If you have any questions, suggestions or paradoxes email us at: admin@rottenpoetry.net

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more musings.
