Poetry by Rowan Evans

Neo-Gothic Confessional Romanticism For the ones who’ve loved through fire. For the soft-hearted rebels. For you.

“I don’t write poems. I write truths with rhythm.” —R.E.

Welcome

I’m Rowan Evans, and this space is stitched together from ink, longing, and raw devotion. I write for survival. For sacred misfits. For the ones who feel too much and love even more.

What Is Neo-Gothic Confessional Romanticism?

A genre born of shadows and devotion: lyrical rebellion, sacred vulnerability, and a quiet, confessional fire. It is the poetry of love that survives ruin. Of heartbreak turned to hymns. If you’ve ever found beauty in pain or a home in heartbreak, you belong here. Learn More About NGCR →

In Borrowed Tongue

“A dream of a distant land, a love both sacred and guilt-laden, and an apology spoken in borrowed tongue. Rowan Evans confronts history, heritage, and devotion in a poem that bridges oceans and hearts.”

Where the Ocean Dreams & Where the Dream Took Us

“Two dreams, two nights, one heart. Where the Ocean Dreams explores tender longing and emotional trust, while Where the Dream Took Us dives into desire, intimacy, and devotion. A double-feature of dream-inspired poetry by Rowan Evans.”

Respectfully

A playful, feral, and deeply Gothic poem exploring desire, consent, and the art of saying exactly what you feel… Respectfully.

Perfect—For Me

Perfection isn’t the absence of flaws — it’s recognizing the beauty that thrives alongside them. This poem celebrates those who have been told they’re ‘too much’ or ‘not enough,’ reminding them they are loved exactly as they are.
