About this listen

If a poem was a room you could walk into, whose voices might you hear?

Red Room Poetry, Australia's leading organisation for commissioning, creating, publishing and promoting poetry in meaningful ways, grew from a community radio show focused on the voices of Australian poets. Supporting poets for over 20 years, explore selections from our audio archives - including commissioned poems commissioned for the national Poetry Month and beyond.

Tune in to hear from poets, authors, spoken word artists, musicians, playwrights and more. Check out the full poetry month program online at redroompoetry.org/poetry-month
