We selected our six Dust poets, whose work is being displayed around Sydney Olympic Park from March-June, and who read their poems at the Dust Poems launch on March 21. The decision was tough, and the final three truckie-poets reflect a cross-section of perspectives on the trucking life of Australia.

So what about all those other unheard voices out there? We put together a "logbook" or anthology of other new Australian trucking poems by drivers, their families, friends and admirers.
The Dust Poems "Logbook" Anthology sold at the project launch on March 21 at Sydney Olympic Park, and a limited series are available for purchase through The Red Room Company.

The Poems are on display as Posters at Sydney Olympic Park.
