In 2015, Planet Earth Poetry (PEP) in Victoria decided to hold an annual poetry retreat. Poets Wendy Donawa, Julie Paul, Barbara Pelman and I organized PEP’s inaugural retreat in June, with Griffin Poetry Prize winner Jane Munro as poet-mentor. Eleven poets from Victoria and area enjoyed a two-day intensive, hosted at the home of poet Rhona McAdam.
