Red Room Company says

On May 21st, The Sydney Writers' Festival hosts a Red Room event, celebrating seven years of successful collaborations with Australian poets. Come and mingle with ten of Australia's top poets! Celebrate the work of the Red Room Company and contemporary Australian poetry at the Sydney Writers' Festival. The Red Room has organised a special event for the SWF, gathering ten prominent Australian poets featured in Poems to Share, our new set of poetry cards produced in collaboration with our design partners, Corban & Blair.

Each poet will read their piece from Poems to Share, and also share another with the audience. Along with the readings there will be a discussion on the notion of sharing and its relation to poetry; perhaps an anecdote of a book lent, or a poem read aloud by a lover, or a favourite poem long kept tucked away.

The audience will be seated at tables with the poets, able to share their own ideas and impressions of the event.
