Jan Oskar Hansen s latest work undoubtedly reveals his real capacities as a poet of international stature. His artistry and thought is visible in every poem. Aristotle s dictum: To think like a wise man but to express oneself like the common people is fully applicable to the poems included in this remarkable collection. What we admire in Hansen s poetry is its magic, its miraculous lucidity and integrity.
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.
