Banana Girl

Paris Rosemont’s debut poetry collection 'Banana Girl' exploded
onto the poetry scene – a hybrid of experimental styles and a fresh, edgy voice
Banana Girl is a collection of poetry traversing topics that are at once deeply personal, yet universal—explorations of love, loss and heartbreak, lust and sex, feminism, power dynamics and satirical social commentary—the juicy stuff of life!
As a second generation Thai-Australian, Paris is also interested in exploring issues of identity, displacement, generational trauma and reclaiming power through her literary expression.

Banana Girl was shortlisted by the Association for the Study of Australian Literature for the 2024 Mary Gilmore Award. It was also shortlisted for Poetry Book Awards 2024 in Australia, Greece, and UK, as well as being awarded ‘Distinguished Favorite’ in the NYC Independent Press Award 2025 (USA), and named Finalist in the International Book Awards 2025 (USA).
