Born in East York Township, Ontario, Craig has lived a life as vivid and exploratory as his poetry. His experiences, which range from teaching English in rural Japan to trekking across continents, influence the realism of his writing. Craig is a word and image enthusiast who offers a distinct viewpoint refined by his work in media studies, education, and linguistics. Inspired by the peace and quiet of small-town living, he currently lives with his family and their rescued dog in Carleton Place, Ontario.
