Event Description

The Disappearing is an innovative new app that (literally) explores poetry and place. Created by The Red Room Company, The Disappearing uncovers poetry’s invisible currents in the world around us. An interactive smartphone app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, The Disappearing uses geolocation technology to match poetry to place.

The Disappearing charts traces, fragmentary histories, impressions and memories, encouraging readers to interact in a non-linear way. The app preserves poems that capture the emotions, ideas and experiences associated with places that may vanish over time (perhaps like the places themselves).

Over 2012, The Disappearing will operate like a temporary journal, with three ‘issues’ covering three cities throughout the year. We’re calling for poems about the Sydney area and the people in it. You don’t have to be from Sydney; all we ask is that you consider the theme of ‘disappearing’ in your work.

Send us a new poem in a single Word document. Please include a short description of the place the work is related to, a brief bio and, if possible, an address or even GPS coordinates. If your poem is accepted, we’ll send you $80. No previously published works at this stage, thanks.

Email your work to media@redroomcompany.org 


Submissions close Sunday April 15, 2012
