At Rotten Poetry we believe in supporting and promoting our collaborators, local artists, musicians and writers we love.
We work with lots of creatives and hope to build a catalogue of inspiring publications in print and recording.
Publications to date:
Davey MacManus – The Bluster Boy
An incredible selection from 30 years of writing paired with archive photographs give an insight into Davey’s life and career. Bringing together poems and prose written at different stages of Davey’s life. From teenage angst, through the whirlwind of life in the music business, then making a career in healthcare and charity work. The Bluster Boy offers the life-journey of a troubled artist through mental health difficulties, eating disorders, drug addiction and, eventually, recovery.
A personal collection essential for fans of Davey’s previous poetry or music, but also for anyone to see the journey of a poet, life on the edge of fame and the music business or just passionate, personal poetic expression.
The debut novel from Charlotte Wood chills to the bone as Fern discovers she is not alone in her new flat. Heather is a young woman’s reflection on the plight of young women who have gone before her. A twisting, feminist ghost story.
