From the multi-award-winning author of Banana Girl (2023) and Barefoot Poetess (2025) comes this heartsmasher of a collection. >>glitch<< is Paris Rosemont at her most fierce, fragile, and feral as she navigates the complexities of the human condition.
With playful veneration pushing at the limits of craft, Paris packs a gut-punch with pathos and vibrancy that somersaults across the pages. Content warnings for sex, violence, and profanity—to hedonistic excess. Surely, this is what you’ve come for…

Judith Beveridge (recipient of Creative Australia’s Lifetime Achievement in Literature award), on Barefoot Poetess:
Paris Rosemont is constantly awake to the complexities and contradictions in our moral and social lives…Her writing sizzles with passion and bravery. She knows how to set fire to the page.
Association for the Study of Australian Literature judges’ report on Banana Girl, shortlisted for the Dame Mary Gilmore Prize 2024:
…a verbal and emotional striptease, as it traces, celebrates and savages different sexual and domestic relationships in a mosaic of verse forms…It’s acrobatic, performative poetry—a high-wire language circus—as well as decorous in its literary invocations…an exciting blend of registers: defiantly revolutionary and deferentially formal.
