About the Author
Olav H. Hauge (1908-1994) lived nearly all of his life in his native Ulvik in Western Norway, where he worked as a gardener. His poetry is now seen as one of the main achievements of twentieth-century Norwegian literature. Robin Fulton, Scottish poet, editor and translator, has lived in Norway since 1973. He is a notable translator of Scandinavian poetry whose versions of Swedish poets received the Artur Lundkvist Award in 1977 and Swedish Academy Awards in 1978 and 1998. His collections of poetry include Selected Poems (1980) and several further volumes.
Reviews
'Beyond the simple clear writing, there's a special kind of human being at work, with a lot of wisdom in the cellar, sensible to living in the cosmos... Robin Fulton's translations are authentic English poetry'Herbert Lomas, Ambit
