Red Room Poetry

Red Room Poetry is Australia’s leading organisation for commissioning, creating, publishing and promoting poetry in meaningful ways.

Our poetic projects are created in collaboration with a spectrum of poets, communities and partners for positive impact in core areas of environment, amplification, First Nations, youth and marginalised voices. We aim to make poetry highly visible, vibrant, relevant and accessible, especially to those who face the greatest barriers to creative opportunities.

Red Room Poetry runs the POEM FOREST Prize for young poets and teachers nationally. For every poem submitted, we plant a native tree at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan to help heal habitats and create positive climate action.
