Lulu Houdini is a proud Gamilaraay/Gomeroi woman, writer, artsworker, nurse and birth worker. She creates and explores around connections with poetry of land, sea, sky, story.

Lulu is also one of the inaugural recipients of the Emerging Poets Residency, which is currently open for applications! Here she is reading her poem 'Mangrove Girls'. Read the full poem here:

If a poem was a room you could walk into, whose voices might you hear?

Red Room Poetry, Australia's leading organisation for commissioning, creating, publishing and promoting poetry in meaningful ways, grew from a community radio show focused on the voices of Australian poets. Now celebrating our 20th year, we’re exploring our audio archives - including commissioned poems from the first two years of the national Poetry Month and beyond.

We’ll be sharing daily 30in30 poetry commissions and writing prompts across August, plus a special series hosted by our Red Room producers including ‘Language, Place, and Sonic Forms’, with Nicole Smede, ‘Write a poem, plant a tree’ with Lorin Reid, ‘Poetic Lifelines’ with David Stavanger and ‘A Line in the Sand’ celebrating the publication of our 20 year anthology’ with Izzy Roberts-Orr.

Tune in to hear from poets, authors, spoken word artists, musicians, playwrights and more. Check out the full poetry month program online at redroompoetry.org/poetry-month

Line Break, a new podcast from Red Room Poetry, brought to you as part of Poetry Month in August, and presented in partnership with the Community Radio Network.
