Jan Oskar Hansen's Fishes For Peace is peerless in a fresh exploration of reality. The poems develop a gentle and agreeable lyrical quality, but Hansen never loses his force and intensity. These are his most genuine poems, and he definitely takes his place among the most outstanding contemporary poets. The obvious reason is his style which makes almost every line an example of 'what oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd'.
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.
