"Perhaps my poems have nerve, compassion, an edge and strike a chord; perhaps some can be described as cynical but most have an air of observation about them (even when I am ashamed, as when I was cowed into silence by the bullies in Temporary Safety!)." I suppose in a word my poems are HONEST. They examine death, life, mistakes, passion, anger and joy with an open heart." Rose Drew
Drew has been named No. Nine in the Purple Patch Top Twenty Best Individual Collections for 2011. Find out more...
