Listen to the interview with Anna and hear her read the poem written for Red Room Remains - "Sustainable Sydney" project

The hover-dog was chasing the hover-mailman who was

trying to give me a parcel – it flew into my hands.

It was a self-writing pencil and a computer game.

I said ‘Mum, my automatic homework pencil’s arrived!’,

pushed the ‘no adult’ button and put my game on the hologram.
