Author Biography

Alistair Te Ariki Campbell

Alistair Te Ariki Campbell was born in Rarotonga on 25 June 1925, the son of John Archibald Campbell, a third-generation New Zealander from Dunedin who became secretary of the Cook Islands Trading Company, and Teu (nee Bosini), a Polynesian family of chiefly origins. Both his parents died early and the orphaned four children spent several years of their childhood in a Dunedin orphanage. He attended Otago Boys High School where he succeeded academically and in sports. Besides several volumes of poems he has written four novels. His Pocket Collected Poems of 1996 is his most recent attempt at a complete survey of his poetic oeuvre, and has an important introduction by Roger Robinson.
