'Red Room Poetry’s Writing Water: Rain, River, Reef project commissioned celebrated poets – Eunice Andrada, Tony Birch, Luke Davies and Georgina Reid – and invited public submissions that looked below the surface and reimagined our essential relationships with water. From the slow-moving waters of TarraWarra in Victoria to the extinction of corals and conversations with wetlands in Western Australia, poems are provocations to honour, remember and interrogate our responsibilities with water in a time of environmental change.'
