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.
