Thanks to a hefty grant by CAL (Copyright Agency Limited), Australian Poets will have their first national body.

Ron Pretty, Director of Poetry Australia Foundation (PAF) said

“For the first time, poetry will have a fully professional organisation.”

The centre will program workshops, tours, promotional activties for poetry around Australia. Brian Johns, chair of Cal said

“This will be a national centre, built to serve the interests of all established and budding Australian poets – from the bush to the urban poet.”
