Phone-a-Poem

Phone A Poem

Listen to original poems read by regional Victorian poets by dialling a number on one of three Wonderfoon handsets. Inspired by John Giorno’s iconic 1969 artwork Dial-a-Poem, each number unlocks a unique poem by a contemporary Australian poet.

Curated by Izzy Roberts-Orr, Phone-a-Poem invites people of all ages to engage with poetry in a tactile and interactive experience.

Phone-a-Poem is supported by the Australian Government’s Arts and Cultural Development Program, Regional Arts Australia and Regional Arts Victoria.
