Dimitra Harvey was born in Sydney, to a Greek mother, and grew up on Wangal country. Her poetry chapbook, A Fistful of Hail, was published by Vagabond Press in 2018. Her writing has appeared in Meanjin, Southerly, Cordite, SBS Voices, and Mascara Literary Review; as well as anthologies such as The Best Australian Poems, and The Stars Like Sand: Australian Speculative Poetry. In 2019, her poem Triptych was awarded third place in the Newcastle Poetry Prize. And in 2021, she won Queensland Poetry's Val Vallis Poetry Prize.
Hester can only be described as Christmas in July. She lives by the quote 'money is the root of all evil' and she has seventeen snakes that take up most of her bed space. She writes in a small, dark, cold abyss next to Lake George and loves poetry.
