Andrew Martin currently lives and works in Devon, UK. He studied wildlife illustration in Carmarthen, South Wales, which has imbued his writing and artwork with elemental and natural world imagery. For him, writing poetry follows the same creative process he uses in the generation of his digital artwork.
He has had highly commended poems in both the Bridport Prize and the Hippocrates Prize and was shortlisted for the first Venture Award for a poetry pamphlet. He also runs Shoals of Starlings Press, has appeared on BBC and local Radio, and pens the popular poetry blog shoalsofstarlings.com
