The Red Room Company's latest project [Australia]:
Exploring the words of truckies and their experiences of the road, the project commissions three truck-driving poets and three professional poets who work in non-trucking industries. Often ignored, repudiated and misunderstood, truckies in their constant travels see more sides to this country and its people than just about anyone else – and we want it into words.
But wait, there's more.
Donate a toy truck
A core part of the project involves members of the public who visit Sydney Olympic Park.
Dust Poems is asking you to donate toy trucks to be used in the poem installations. Trucks no larger than the size of your palm can be donated to the project at the following points:
Truck Deposit Box
Visitor Center
Sydney Olympic Park
or by post to:
The Red Room Co
Po Box 1389
Darlinghurst NSW 1300
The Truck Deposit Box at Sydney Olympic Park will also be an audio installation where you can listen to the poets read their poems and hear audio material linked to this project.
