HOMEWARD BOUND is one in the triptych: End Of A Voyage, Homeward Bound, Homecoming. Hansen invites us to share his life’s adventures as a high seas explorer with brilliant insights at once salty, gritty, perceptive, sensitive, philosophical, spiced with irony. His love, respect and understanding of both nature and humanity with all its foibles, vividly described. He shocks us into the seafaring life of danger with humour and pathos. A master of prose, poetry, senryu and tanka, resulting from his studies at sea under the influence of many lands and ports.
Jan Oskar Hansen is a poet, story teller and seafarer, born in Stavanger, Norway. He joined the merchant navy at 15 and spent most of his life at sea until settling in the early 90's in Portugal. His poetry has been widely published in hard copy and online, worldwide. Reviewers have generally commented that a love and honoring of living things stands out in Hansen's work, and deep humility; that it reveals with unflinching honesty man's shortcomings in his efforts to love, telling what there is to tell in a first person, deeply resident universal voice.
