Hi, I’m Georgia Adsett. Creative Strategist, English Teacher & Freelance Creative helping people and businesses to unlock their creative potential in Bristol.
Welcome to my site. Here you’ll find both work and play. Dig into my Advertising Strategy background, take a look at my Tutoring tips and have a gander at some commissionable illustrative magic.
My poetry often pokes at spots of discomfort in life, as someone who often gets caught in the web of existential thought. I like writing that digs up human nature, our follies, feelings and little madnesses, casting the shady parts of ourselves into light. I am interested in exploring the mundane as macabre.
The scaffolding is a skeleton around the house
it’s holding us together,
rib after rib of humans, living.
someone is dancing on top of my head,
stomping hearty laughs about the place
as tunes swoon in misty kitchens.
I’m trapped in the underbelly.
In this bog basement
throwing rocks at my reflection in the window
Thinking turns to thunking,
Slushy, mulchy, gloopy, shruggy.
Heartbeat’s thumping, rib-filled rocks
and rocky days in dazes.
No stop, ‘till you drop.
in this space with you,
skin on skin, touching.
tuck me under your wing,
this soft-cottoned night
these smudges of time
are beautiful nothing
- just the sight of you,
hair skewiff, star-fishing
