In the 1960s and 1970s Robin Fulton Macpherson was active in
Scottish literary life as a poet, reviewer and editor. Since 1973
his home base has been in Norway and in the decades since he has
built a solid reputation as a translator of Scandinavian poets,
such as Tomas Tranströmer, Kjell Espmark and Harry Martinson from
Swedish and Olav H. Hauge from Norwegian. His A Northern Habitat:
Collected Poems 1960-2010 (Marick Press, 2013) was described by
Carol Rumens in The Guardian as "a major achievement, enriching the
habitat of contemporary letters in our own archipelago and beyond."
John Glenday, in Northwords Now, referred to the book as "a real
treasure of a collection, a weighty, important reminder that Fulton
Macpherson is a prominent figure in Scottish poetry... His poetry
is enduring as granite. It will weather well", while Peter M.
McDonald, in Rain Taxi, felt certain that "A Northern Habitat will
stand the test of time. It is arguably the most important book yet
from a Scottish poet in this new millennium." Ancient Light is his
third Shearsman collection, following 2020's Arrivals of Light.
"Many of these [ poems in Arrivals of Light ] consist of just a few
lines but they're suffused with a remarkable keenness of eye and,
especially, freshness of thought and phrase. The very title ...
speaks to a sense of continuing revelation, or more accurately
revelations." -Chris Powici, Northwords Now
