Robin was born in Lumsden, New Zealand in 1957
His love of the outdoors and nature began in his early family life and continued with extensive tramping and climbing in the Southern Alps.
Robin studied Veterinary medicine and after five years of rural practise he moved to the UK with his wife Donna. The outdoors continued to feature through his fell running, with regular training stints along Offa's Dyke around Kington, Herefordshire.
Robin has suffered from Uveitis/iritis and it was due to this that he became interested in yoga as a way of improving his mobility and health.
He soon realised that through the dedication of his yoga teacher Raj, and his commitment to a consistent daily pratise of yoga, that it resulted in a marked improvement of his health and well being; a rejuvinating flexibility of body and mind. Through the sessions with his yoga teacher he also discovered something far more profound: a spark; a light within; a new found intuition which has given his an 'ever present inspiration to write poetry - from the heart.
Robin writes as he perceives and his work is strongly influenced by nature and the beauty that surrounds. He incorporates this with aspects of philosophy for everyday life. His pieces are as timeless as the thought itself and can be described as being beautifully carved flowing pieces with a meaning; he inquires of the reader 'to perceive between the lines'. His poetry is compelling and appeals to all ages.
Robin currently practices as a Veterinarian in rural Wales; his love of life in this part of the world is reflected in his poetry
