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 Northwards 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.”
