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 achieve-ment, 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.”

Praise for Previous Work “David M. Black, in The Dark Horse, wrote that ”these poems carry a strong charge…They add up to a remarkable body of work… (and) stand up quietly and resolutely for their values of integrity, thoughtfulness and the importance of beauty.” “Richard Price, in Poetry International, saw the author as ”a master wit-ness of the unsettling dizziness of being, responding with simplicitiy of lan-guage and complexity of thought,” 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 millenium.”
