Whimsical, physical sensations are grounded firmly inconcrete visions of the natural world.

During the 1960s, he taught at the University of Washington and the University of California at Berkeley.

He currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he copes with a large rock garden. Review "In Lifelines, his latest collection, Robin Magowan has composed a rich medley of broad and deep practical knowledge of the natural world, as well as his anchored knowledge of his own always alert expansive life in the natural and the human world. In attitude, Magowans poems are willing again and again—with narrative poise or a haikus memorably striking delicacy—to march into late nights surprises: / honey in a glass / rain sifting down.For Magowan, both eye and mind are organs of his own restless love affair—at once sexual and intellectual—with the world, and I love how his tirelessly far-flung mind and restless kinetic eye give all he encounters its own distinct lyrical shimmer.Enough to say that Lifelines offers its readers the complex satisfaction of riches (human, natural, personal, or impersonal) rendered with refined lyrical tact into cherished possessions. As with the Romantic poets themselves, Magowan has a bracing capacity for imaginative identification: one minute rejoicing in the mysterious spectacle of cranes dancing, at another its the touching sight of grebes gathering the glisten where the moon is salt. In a word, then, there are so many treats here that all a grateful reader can do is thank the poet who says, "come in, enjoy the feast."—Eamon Grennan, author of Plainchant Long Description A rich medley of broad and deep practical knowledge of the natural world.
