To know your roots is to know yourself.
As a mixed-race woman, Rosemary always felt like there was a part of her identity missing. Growing up in Yorkshire surrounded by wild moors and ancient folklore was magical. However, she knew that her ancestry held secrets that she needed to explore in order to feel true rootedness.
Join Rosemary on her lyrical, poetic journey towards belonging, from England to Jamaica and Africa.
Part memoir, part poetry collection, ROOTED explores themes of race, feminism, folklore and witchcraft.
With each section of her collection centred around a different tree, she weaves her experiences into the lore of each species, making for a creative and magical collection exploring the importance of connecting to place and ancestry.
