“Divinity Rose on Louisville.am "Louisville arts and entertainment on the fringe" pocast with Danny O' Day”

“Louisville based award winning writer and performer Divinity Rose has returned to her roots of Stand up comedy and has been selected to participate in an event to celebrate Phyllis Diller.”

“Divinity Rose is no stranger to the arts community. She has hosted spoken-word shows, written poetry, acted in independent films and dabbled in other forms of performing arts, including burlesque. Yet it is in stand-up comedy where she blossoms...”

“Host: You blush when someone says "poop". Divinity: Maybe when I was younger and we met..I've grown up! I'm a big girl! I can tell a sex joke!!"”

“Divinity: And that's when I felt nerd raped!! more information my brain was willing to take or could handle and my eyes glazed over.....Host: and you shunned nerd intimacy!”

“The emcee for the evening, ... Divinity Rose, proved that you don’t have to be a size 0 to be sexy. In a sparkly, red, Jessica Rabbit-esque gown, her curves caught the interest of everyone in the room with her sultry singing and naughty humor.”

“Divinity Rose sums up her range of pursuits--writer, performer, producer, filmmaker--as a storyteller. She's not just telling her own story though; she's helping other people share theirs as well. Through her regular open mic nights, website, and special events, Rose encourages other people to embark on the path that's most fulfilling to them.”

"The two space-pirate women are engaged in battle, twirling and jousting between the narrow corridor of RV-campers and their milling inhabitants, swinging oversized rubber swords with the might and finesse of a haphazardly choreographed B-grade action flick."

“ "The Promise” tells the story of an artist who reaches back to her childhood to say, “One day art will be your salvation and destiny.” You know that feeling you get when you wake up in the morning and you try to remember a dream, but you can’t? Divinity Rose does and she reminds the reader of it here. Basically, if M.C. Escher began producing briographic material, this first issue of DIARIES OF A GODLING is it. "”

“Divinity Rose appears in a Mini Documentary about a peace mural created in Louisville, Ky.”

“Rose has truly made something wholly untraditional — nothing you can find in the world of comic books today. Her comic is made up of, well, most everything. From bits of paper with mysterious symbols to real childhood pictures, sculpture, scribbled poetry and diary fragments, this story is not going to come together in the traditional fashion. Yes, there is most definitely a tangible storyline, but to really follow, you have to fully immerse yourself in her world and find the path from there. Reading a bit like a graphic “Only Revolutions,” the dense prose and poetry that curls around the page and rests in the margins of this comic is wholly moving and deeply mysterious.”
