Katie Rose

Katie Rose is a twenty four year old pagan witch, originally hailing from Hertfordshire, England. She felt called to come to Glasgow in 2023 after completing her BA in French with Italian, with the intention of abandoning her original career path, to be an artist. With her short little span of attention and passion for multiple hobbies, she draws inspiration from American rap and folk music, conversations within her community, her engagement with full moon rituals, tarot readings, and Mother Nature. She is influenced by writers ranging from Shakespeare and Thomas Hardy, to Carlo Rovelli and Robin Wall Kimmerer. Some of her ideas become poems, while others become paintings. She performs at open mics across Glasgow, is a host of the Time41poem Open Mic, and has been published in several anthologies. She writes poetry when in need of an emotional release, and only when she feels called to do so, giving her poems an instinctive, lyrical edge.
