| book description |

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 Transtroemer, 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.""
