Andrew Stuckgold is a writer and photographer living in Erskineville, South Sydney, Australia. He has a BA in English and Linguistics, Philosophy and Legal Studies from Macquarie University (1979), and an MA in Creative Writing from Sydney University (2016). He is currently a poetry reader for Overland Magazine and is working on his own first book. Over many years, Andrew has travelled extensively in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and South East Asia.
