Jill Jones is shortlisted for the 2020 Red Room Poetry Fellowship

Congratulations to Jill Jones who has been shortlisted for the 2020 Red Room Poetry Fellowship. The Red Room Poetry Fellowship recognises the achievements and artistic goals of contemporary Australian poets. It encourages poets to undertake an intensive period of creative development involving a range of commissions, residency, recordings and publication outcomes.

 

The judges commented: "[s]o many of the applicants’ passion for poetry and for furthering the reach of poetry in the community was intensely palpable and a joy to encounter. We were also impressed by the innovative and unexpected way in which many of the projects responded to an existing Red Room Poetry project, displaying original approaches to develop and further these already intriguing challenges."
