Craig McLanachan is fifty-six, has four sons, and is married to Margaret. They live in Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand. Craig runs a cut flower market. As well as poetry he loves music, art and accumulating books which just may take over soon. He also is a sculptor and plans to expand this activity over time.

Craig is a great optimist for peace, harmony and the power of good over evil. He hopes that people enjoy his work wherever they may find it. He wants to thank the first person who put his work on the web, Tina Stanton of "Moments" For Haiku Lovers, and Robert Wilson for his continuing support and encouragement. The World Haiku Club has also been a huge learning influence.
