Rod Gibson sat down at a typewriter one day in Byron Bay in 1986, after a debilitating 12 year illness, and began churning out poetry, plays, short stories, novels and film scripts which have since made him well known in the Northern Rivers area as a performance poet, playwright and storyteller. He has had 14 plays produced in the region, including 2 one man shows, since then, and has been shortlisted for the Angus and Robertson Bookworld Prize in 1993, and the Off The Page National Short Play Competition in 1995, and has either won or been highly commended in numerous literary competitions – he won the Jean Stone Poetry Award in 1994, and the Nicholas Shand Memorial Poetry Slam in 1999. He has also been widely published in magazines and anthologies such as Writers in the Park – the book, the Poets On Wheels anthology, and Revolver. In May, 2000, the Northern Rivers Performing Arts(NORPA) choreographed one of his longer poems as a dance piece. In 2003 Maverick Musicals published his one act play, “Mein Fuhrer”. He has won first prize in the Schizophrenia Fellowship of New South Wales’ annual poetry competition for an amazing five years in a row. He now lives in Maclean.
