Gold Coast, 2002: Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781922479280)

Years before he built his name as a science fiction and fantasy author, Peter M. Ball was a young poet and member of the Gold Coast's Post Hoc Performing Word collective, building a profile with publications in venerable magazines such as Overland and performances at writer's festivals around Australia. Gold Coast, 2002, collects 24 poems capturing life as a permanent resident of Australia's most notorious tourist destination, bringing them into print for the first time in 20 years.
