Poetry by Rowan Evans

Featured Poems

• Can’t Tell the Difference

“A reflective poem about the blurred line between dreams and reality, where memory, longing, and love intertwine until the difference no longer feels clear.”

• Calculating Profits (Ledger of Lives)

“Calculating Profits (Ledger of Lives) is a raw anti-war poem confronting how modern conflict is often reduced to statistics, strategy, and spectacle. Through stark imagery and direct language, Rowan Evans challenges the “us vs. them” narrative and reminds readers that behind every number in war’s ledger is a human life.”

• Tattooed Pages

“A vulnerable poem about writing as therapy, hiding affection inside metaphor, and slowly learning how to say what you really mean.”

• Pixelated Egos

“A chaotic, Nintendo-inspired comedy poem where Mario grabs the wrong sword, egos clash in 8-bit fashion, and Bowser sets the record straight. A playful dive into nostalgia, pixelated pride, and absurd party drama.”

• Not the Default

“A sharp, reflective poem about propaganda, perspective, and the illusion that one nation’s experience is the world’s “default.” A reminder to look beyond borders — and beyond comfort.”
