Robin Robertson’s (born 1955, Scone, Perthshire) poems have their roots in the rich tradition of Greek myths and Celtic folklore. They evoke, in forceful and melodious language, the arresting landscape and nature of north-east Scotland. He has published five collections of poetry and received a number of accolades, including the Petrarca Preis, the E.M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and all three Forward Prizes. Am Robbenkap (Hanser Verlag, 2013) is a German selection translated by Jan Wagner. His selected poems, Sailing the Forest, was published the following year by Picador and Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
