Do you know why we’re proud
Can you make a leap?
And when you really listen
Is your listening deep?
~ Ellen van Neerven from 'Yugambeh and Proud'
The Fellowship recognises the achievements and artistic goals of contemporary Australian poets.
The Red Room Poetry Fellowship was established to foster poetic and professional development of an individual within the wider poetic community. Valued at $10,000, this opportunity encourages poets to undertake an intensive period of creative development involving a range of commissions, residency, recordings and publication outcomes.
Previous recipients of the Red Room Poetry Fellowship include Michelle Cahill (2020), Jeanine Leane (2019), the late Candy Royalle (2018) and Ali Cobby Eckermann (2017).
