Rose Hunter is the author of six books of poetry, including Anchorage and glass. Her poetry has appeared widely in literary journals in Australia, the USA, and Canada, and she has been awarded an Australia Council for the Arts grant. Rose has always drawn on her own experiences in her poetry, but in the last few years she has become interested in writing in a clearer way about her history. She is a survivor of the sex industry and intimate partner violence, and she is an alcoholic and addict in recovery. Born in Armidale, Australia, and raised all over the place, Rose went on to live in Canada for ten years, then Mexico for ten more. She is currently on the Gold Coast, and is enrolled in a PhD in Creative Writing at Griffith University.
"Trauma can destroy narrative or it can create a firestorm in Body Shell Girl Rose Hunter has ploughed her memory and her radioactive journals to take us not just inside the debilitating machinations of her time in the sex industry but right inside the experience itself. A highly visceral reading experience that left me body-shocked and reeling. In Body Shell Girl Hunter annihilates misogynist fantasy word by word, page by page." -- Sally Breen, author of The Casuals and Atomic City
"Body Shell Girl is incredible. It is a captivating and honest account of a womans experiences, thoughts, and feelings in the sex trade. Communicated with authenticity, you feel as if Rose is an old friend by the end of the book: she gives a voice to sisters who are too often unheard." -- Cherry Smiley, from the Nlakapamux and Diné Nations, founder of Womens Studies Online, Canada
