Baran Rostamian on her debut poetry collection, Woven Frays

"Rostamian's poems speak with a finely tuned defiance" (Tony Hughes D'Aeth). Baran Rostamian talks to Will Yeoman about her writing process and what it means to be a poet in today's world

Baran Rostamian is a poet and writer based in Perth, Western Australia. As the child of first-generation immigrants, Baran was born in Esfahan, Iran, and first attended kindergarten unable to speak English. The subject swiftly became her favourite. In her spare time, Baran repurposes junk into accessories. You can follow her on Instagram @baran.writes & @trashy.com.au.

Baran’s debut poetry collection Woven Frays is published by Red River in partnership with Centre for Stories.
