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.
