The Ghost Poetry Project: Back Cover blurb:

Ten nights.  Ten haunted locations.  One terrifying adventure across Australia.  From a gaol cell to a lunatic asylum to a night in a haunted hearse, The Ghost Poetry Project is one poet’s attempt to find a language of guts and daring.  A unique exploration of fear, courage, and the power of mystery and myth.
