Stephen Cassidy – Writing biography

In parallel with his long career in the arts and culture sector over many decades, Stephen Cassidy’s writing has ranged across articles, poetry, short stories, installations, songs, websites and digital media. It includes several blogs.

Over the last two decades his writing has focused on his extensive suite of blogs. The main one, indefinite article, publishes more serious irreverent articles about contemporary Australian society, popular culture, the creative economy and the digital and online world – life in the trenches and on the beaches of the information age. This is supplemented by balloon, which floats thought balloons for our strange and unsettled times – short quirky articles about the eccentricities of everyday life, almost always with a sense of short black humour; tableland is about food, produce and cooking, land to table – the daily routine of living in the high country, on the edge of the vast Pacific, just up from Sydney, just down from Mount Kosciuszko; and travelling light, a personal view of the light – and sometimes heavier – matters that arise in daily life and make us sit up and take notice, whether travelling, coming home and staying put or thinking about travelling.

This blog, handwriting, sprays homegrown graffiti from the digital world – writing, rhyming and digital animations, including his extensive travel writing.
