The State Library of NSW has recently been given a collection of photographs from the collection of Clifton Cappie Towle. Towle was a founding member of the Anthropological Society of NSW an d rigorously documented the traditional dendroglyphs (tree carvings) that the Gamilaroi and Wiradjuri peoples have practiced for thousands of years.

To celebrate the rediscovery of these incredible artefacts, The State Library of NSW has curated an exhibition of Towle's works and as part of this, asked The Red Room Company to organise a poetry reading, in which Indigenous Australian poets respond to these photographs.

What: Poetic Responses to Carved Trees.

Who: Gayle Kennedy, Jonathan Hill and Peter Minter.
Discussion moderated by Johanna Featherstone.
