Red Room Poetry's vision is to make poetry in meaningful ways. As Australia’s leading organisation for the commissioning and creation of poetry, we aim to make poetry highly visible, vibrant, relevant and accessible, especially to those who face the greatest barriers to creative opportunities.
We have a rich history of digital and experimental work, and one of our central outcomes is the publication of a huge digital library of contemporary Australian poems, freely accessible here on the Red Room Poetry website. This archive includes written, spoken, video and experimental works, and grows exponentially every year.
Keen to be commissioned by Red Room Poetry? More information is available on our FAQs page here.
