Andrew Darling is a poet, singer-songwriter, and trumpeter who lives in the hills of Healesville, on Wurundjeri land. His practice is often nocturnal, emerging from an uneasy alliance between insomnia and imaginative impulse. He is an experienced music educator and performs internationally as a musician. His poetry has been published in Australian Poetry Journal, Cordite Poetry Review, Meniscus, and the 2024 Poetry d’Amour Anthology. He also convenes the Healesville Poets’ Breakfast, a regular forum for regional writers.
