Reed-Song: Coral Hull: The Early Poems by Coral Hull Poetry ISBN: 1-876900-02-4 (word.doc)
"... A struggle for inner identity and the driving force to make sense of the world around her. In this extensive collection of Coral Hull's very early poetry, rather than find genius or savant, here is a young autistic woman, who struggles for self expression, external definition and literacy. Many of these poems would be rewritten, as Hull gradually gained skill over language. Hull's need to write the external world in order to connect to it makes these poems significant ..."

In The Dog Box of Summer by Coral Hull Poetry 2nd Edition ISBN: 1-876900-12-1 (ebook-html)
Coral Hull was born in 1965, as an autistic who developed multiple streams of consciousness. This is her first book of poetry describing her entry into a 3D physical reality. "... Much of Hull's poetry centers around a Gunter Grassian desire to remain inside the warmth and safety of the womb, and nowhere is this desire clearer than in the title poem, in which she recalls hiding as a young girl in the hot, moist interior of a dog house ..." Mike Wiley (DePaul University, USA).

William's Mongrels by Coral Hull Poetry 2nd Edition ISBN: 1-876900-14-8 (ebook-html)
Written while Hull travelled around Australia in 1992 with 2 dogs and a friend, living out of a $590.00 EH Holden station wagon and sleeping on a piece of tarp on the ground. The book contains some of Hull's first adult observations of the natural world. '... There is something in almost every line of her work, a mix of passion and intricate memory, always combined with invention. Style and substance come together here in a special way ...' Peter Goldsworthy.

How Do Detectives Make Love? by Coral Hull Poetry 2nd Edition ISBN: 1-876900-18-0 (ebook-html)
In this fiercely autobiographical work, Hull dramatises herself as victim, scribe and player in a seductive cycle of nihilism. A raw and moving portrayal of the human cost of power abuse. '... This book demands to be read from cover to cover, since its power is cumulative. Hull is a deceptively accessible poet, and appears to be developing into a major social, political and spiritual conscience in our poetry ...' Greg Mclaren. This is Hull's third book of poetry.

Psychic Gun by Coral Hull Poetry ISBN: 1-876900-30-X (ebook-html)
From childhood brutality to adult fantasy that reflects and repeats the same - "... These poems are full of the terrorism of what often passes for "ordinary life", ... photographic in their clarity, their willingness to look clear-eyed at all manner of human behavior and response, without flinching or sentimentality. ... This occurs by means of language that is driven, full of music even when using the brutally direct argot of the streets, the poet imaginatively illuminates the origins of human power and suffering ..." (Rebecca Seiferle, The Drunken Boat, USA)

Broken Land: 5 Days in Bre 1995 by Coral Hull Poetry 3rd Edition ISBN: 1-876900-16-4 (ebook-html)
A poetic documentary Brewarrina in outback New South Wales. '... Slaughterhouses? You write poems about funny things,' Hull was told in one such place ... Coral Hull writes confrontingly and uncompromisingly about the terrible sights, smells and sounds of these killing places. She makes the final scream of a goat audible and unforgettable, an image of anguish and inhumanity ...' Bev Roberts. *Winner of The Vic Premier's Prize for poetry 1998-CJ Dennis Award.

Bestiary by Coral Hull Poetry 2nd Edition ISBN: 1-876900-28-8 (ebook-html)
A confronting bestiary of animal rights issues. '... These poems are both imaginative and polemical - and are impossible to deflect ...' Dorothy Porter. '... Coral Hull has found a unique and idiosyncratic voice to express her anger and her anguish - and her sometimes searing wit. Not since Robinson Jeffers in America and Ted Hughes in England has a poet written with such passion and such indignation, in a voice that is completely her own ...' Thomas Shapcott.

Zoo by Coral Hull Poetry, Prose Poems ISBN: 1-876900-13-X (ebook-html)
'... Coral Hull is a deceptively accessible poet, and appears to be developing into a major social, political and spiritual conscience in our poetry ...' Greg McClaren. "... Coral Hull is an outstanding poet, far advanced in both her imagery and her political ideas over most comparable candidates. Indeed over most Australian poets ..." Chris Wallace-Crabbe.

The Secret Horses of Peterborough by Coral Hull Poetry ISBN: 1-876900-38-5 (ebook-html)

Rose Street Archeology by Coral Hull Poetry 2nd Edition ISBN: 1-876900-20-2 (ebook-html)
A book containing both the archeology of internal and external realities. "... Hull reminds me of an older poet like Bruce Beaver, especially as they both have achieved some of their most memorable works in long autobiographical sequences drenched in old childhood disturbances that come in to focus through often small and particular images ..." Thomas Shapcott.
