As part of Poetry Month, Red Room Poetry is proud to present the pilot Poets in Residence (PIR) program, supported by City of Sydney (COS).
Open to all NSW residents and taking place during August 2021, two selected PIR will be engaged at Green Square Library for a period of writing, reading and performing poetry on site, engaging the general public in various ways and showcasing COS library collections.
