An inspirational collection containing the unabridged scripts of Rose Condo's three acclaimed poetry theatre shows: The Geography of Me, How to Starve an Artist and The Empathy Experiment. In The Geography of Me, Rose journeys through foreign and familiar lands, recounting hilarity and heartbreak, and disarming even the most reluctant of armchair travellers. How to Starve an Artist is a series of poems and stories about creative nourishment and how to feed your 'inner artist'. It was runner up in the Best Spoken Word Show category at the Saboteur Awards 2017. The Empathy Experiment asks if you could survive for one day without your phone - and if empathy is facing extinction, are smartphones are to blame? Rose explores tech addiction and compassion using herself as the test subject ... but does her experiment work? Winner Best Spoken Word Show, Gtr Manchester Fringe Festival 2019. After the Storm also includes QR codes to access accompanying music by Eleonora Rosca, full colour artwork by Jen McDonald, and a Foreword by Tina Sederholm.

Walsh, spoken word artist; “Dignity and strength underpin explorations of belonging, creativity and connection.” - Ciarán Hodgers, spoken word artist; “Her subtle lyricism cradles you in a warm embrace and then gently but firmly delivers an emotional and thought-provoking gut punch.” - Tina Sederholm, poet & performer
