Paris Rosemont

I'm honoured to have been invited by Mascara Literary Review to review Thuy On's third poetry collection, Essence.

My review is available to read here:

I’m proud to support Booktober and AusArt Day - Creative Australia’s national day for giving to the arts.

As a writer, I know how powerful stories can be. They build empathy, confidence, and connection.

Today, for 24 hours only, every donation to Booktober will be matched. That means twice the opportunity for young people to discover the joy of reading and to write their own stories.

Currently reading this fabulous book to help revitalise my creative practice 💫

This year I am an official Westwords Booktober Ambassador!

You can give a kid a book and feed their imagination for a day. Or you can teach them how to write their own stories and change their lives forever.
.
Through Booktober, together we can do both!

It sure has been lovely seeing so many Love Your Bookshop Day posts blooming like wildflowers across my Insta feed. To celebrate #LYBD2025 yesterday, I popped into my local bookshop, Read On, to sign copies of Barefoot Poetess 🌹

We are almost halfway through Booktober. The reality is that not everyone has access to literary enrichment. Please consider helping to support children's literacy by donating to Booktober if you can.

The latest issue of the wonderful Poetry Foundation Journal arrived for me recently and I've been enjoying dipping into that this week. Alas, this is the last issue in my subscription :( Do you subscribe to any journals? Which ones are your favourites?
