Peter Minter

Peter Minter (born 1967) is an Australian poet.

Life
Minter was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, and grew up in nearby Swansea. As a teenager he moved with his family to Quorrobolong in the Hudson Valley; he considers this move from seacoast to bush an important catalyst in developing his interest in writing. He began publishing poetry in local newspapers at 17. While still in high school he attended the University of Newcastle's Morpeth poetry camps, where he worked with Norman and Jean Talbot.
