Hi Rommi, it's Jen from Sheffield Young Writers. I just wanted to say thanks so much for all the workshops you did with us - I really enjoyed all of them and I think everyone else did too. Plus I took up your reading recommendation, which I thought was fantastic. I feel really inspired by the workshops you ran. Thank you! :)

Dear Rommi,
It was an absolute pleasure and delight to talk to you and watch you perform in our theatre today.
I have to tell you that after I got back from dropping you at the Ubahn, one of my theatre students came up to me and told me she had just re-thought her decision regarding her subject choices for IB and is definitely going to study theatre - all as a result of your visit. Anyway we will talk much more I am certain at some point in the future. Please know that you are welcome any time you come to Vienna-I definitely want to do a writer-in-residence experience and will work on that now and get back to you before the end of this school year with possible dates.
And know that you are always welcome. You left a genuine mark on all of us today-come back again!
Mhairi

Dear Rommi and Lemn
Couldn't let the week go without sending a huge huge huge thank you to you both for the incredible week you gave us all at Arvon. You created a very special space for us to live and work in and it was a real privilege to be part of such a collective experience and yet one in which each and every individual truely made their own path and in all cases as far as i could sense, one they really had needed to take but didn't know till they got there. In particular I want to thank you for the totality of energy and spirit you each and both together brought to the week - that kind of giving is very rare and precious in the best way.
May all those gifts return to you tenfold and more
yours
Fiona

Hi Rommi,
You don't know me. But I heard you at the event held at City Hall a few weeks ago. I was the keyboard player for LCGC at that event. I enjoyed your reading. I'd like to get you involved in some of the work that I'm doing in schools.
Blessing

Hi Rommi, I stumbled upon this site by way of 'Wicked Words' and the comments I read make me think I should see you in performance mode sometime. Also desperately searching for live poetry gigs in the run up to my essay deadline.
Ah well... back to the search. Denis.

We are looking forward to meeting you and hearing your work at Cal State Los Angeles this year. Professor L. Ramey has been bragging about you. We are enjoying your Moveable Type CD and the book which is part of our course work.

Rommi, your contributions to BBC Radio 3's Late Junction were awesome!! I just sat at my desk at work listening to you when I should have been doing the accounts. You are a true artistic subversive, seducing me from the mediocraity of my daily life and taking me into your world; to places that I have never been before, into new territories and within new landscapes of experience. Thank you for the trip out Romi!!

Just to let you know that I was really impressed by your chair(wo)manship yesterday of the African Vision group at the Ilkley Literature Festival. The questions you posed were almost as fascinating as the answers the authors gave and I'm sure the audience felt the same. It was a real education (literally) and a really enjoyable experience. Thanks.
Reading through your website has been a surprise too! I remember your play vividly, it was funny in parts, poignant in others. I look forward to hearing about the experiences of Africans in the north of England, being one myself, on R3 on the 15th and 22nd.
Best wishes,
Aduke

Rommi Smith sparkles every time. She challenges and subverts conventions in the most lyrical way. The London Eye performance was brilliant. Encore please from this fantastic artist.
