Michael Rose observes the world with a passionate and playful eye, bringing the everyday to life.

Whether drawing on his family history, his personal love story, the Scottish coastline, or the vocabulary of modern food criticism, what underpins his sharp observations is affection.

Both social commentary and documentary, his poems address the heart and mind.

Michael Rose grew up and lives in London, a city that has set free his feet and his imagination to roam where they will.
