A Line in the Sand

A Line In The Sand draws together over 80 of Australia's leading poets and public figures commissioned by Red Room Poetry across the last 20 years. These poems illuminate space and time, giving us ways to speak and listen to loss, dream, connection, truths and traces. As a celebration of the groundbreaking work Red Room Poetry does, to read these pages is to enter the alchemic process - where poetry transforms us, reawakening wonder and ways of being. Featuring poems from Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Maxine Beneba Clarke, Grace Tame, Jazz Money, Bruce Pascoe, Tony Birch, Maria Tumarkin, Sarah Holland-Blatt, Eloise Grills, Omar Musa and Uncle Archie Roach.

Red Room Poetry is Australia's leading organisation for commissioning, creating, publishing and promoting poetry in meaningful ways. Reflecting the diversity of Australian voices, Red Room commissions and publishes poetry of all styles and stages (page/ performance/ spoken word/ experimental/ digital/ musical/ visual). Red Room develops creative and critical contexts where poetry is explored across languages, landscapes and mediums in and beyond literary communities to make Australian poetry and creative expression widely accessible.
