Launch: Barefoot Poetess by Paris Rosemont presented by WestWords
Event description
WestWords warmly invites you to the launch of Paris Rosemont's Barefoot Poetess.
The follow up collection to her highly acclaimed debut Banana Girl is about journeys: through love, disenchantment, and change. Published by WestWords Books.
With her second poetry collection, Barefoot Poetess takes readers on an intimate journey through Rosemont’s metamorphosis – from the disillusionment of fractured relationships, complexities of culture and identity, the ridiculousness of the current zeitgeist, through to – at the very heart of things, love. This collection ripples with an undercurrent of violence. Yet there is also a softness to it—a sense of hope amidst the jagged edges. https://www.westwords.com.au/p...
When: 27th March, 6.30pm
Where: WestWords Western Sydney Centre for Writing, 41 Hunter St, Parramatta
Free RSVP
Join us for an intimate evening of poetry and celebration. Books are available for purchase and signing at the event.
"Besides reclaiming the word ‘Poetess’ as an act of rebellion, Paris Rosemont has also reclaimed a woman’s fierce allegiance to her body, sexuality, her selfhood. Throughout this book she reclaims the language of love and her love of language." - Dorianne Laux, Finalist: 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry
