Oh good, a bunch of writers with food!

Always be on the lookout for strange characters

They will make an interesting plot.

Seeking your Poems

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. 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. Check out the attached flyer for The Disappearing and please share widely!
