Eva Dean’s literary debut, Chamomile, is a sweet yet haunting poetry collection, inspired by the adventures - and misadventures - of her youth.
Dean’s world is frightening, uncertain, and always in motion, yet it is endlessly fantastical, and brimming with tender moments.
Her poetry is deeply connected to her Australian homeland, yet draws inspiration from as far afield as Japanese haiku, Celtic fairy tales, and Abrahamic folklore.
The result is a distinctive and surreal poetic voice - both familiar and far-away, no matter where you are.
Chamomile is an essential read for the modern poetry lover, and all those seeking a new author to enjoy.
