    In 2011 New South Wales poets were invited to submit a poem with the theme of `Sweet Dreams´ (maximum of 10 lines). Seven poems were selected. Over the seven nights of the Sydney Writers´ Festival, a different poem was placed on the pillows in every room at the Sebel Pier One Sydney hotel, where leading authors and publishers were staying during the festival. 'Poems on Pillows' was a partnership between Australian Poetry, the Sydney Writers’ Festival and Sebel Pier One Sydney.
