Live Review

“Watching her perform is watching someone do what they were born to do. The room goes very still, and then stays that way long after she's finished.”

Century College

“She doesn't just read poems — she opens something up. Our students left that workshop different than they walked in. That's rare.”

Workshop Residency Feedback

"A conversation with Rosie is like stepping into a world we should all embrace. A world based on love for each other and all living things. A world where we honor and accept that we’re all connected. A world of abundance, not scarcity. Rosie spent time with a group of graduate students at The Acreage from the University of Minnesota this summer. She shared some of the history of Dakota people in the St Croix River Valley, touching on painful topics of colonialism, genocide, and resource depletion. What makes Rosie’s voice so powerful is her way of acknowledging the traumas and difficulties of our past with grace, love, and hope for the future."
