Craig A Roberts

Poet Craig A. Roberts, tangata-tiriti, is from Aotearoa New Zealand, the emergent island highlands of a vast drowned continent Te Riu-a-Māui (Zealandia). He lives above the deep realm of oceans on e Ika-a-Māui (North Island), one of over 700 isles. There is a mountain close by called Kapakapanui. From its slopes the waters of the Waikanae River flow to the sea. His father’s forbears left their beloved mountains and glens of Central Highlands of Scotland to Glasgow, and his mother’s left the ripe fields of Whitfield, Northumbria. Over the generations the journeys of Craig’s forebears brought them to these tectonic isles.

Craig, an applied social scientist, holds a PhD in leader-follower relations. He worked alongside leaders crossing the ocean of change. Nowadays he writes through a Celtic lens on the restorative grace of Solas Chrìost [Christ’s Light] transforming yesterday’s fight with tomorrow’s life.
