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.
The poet is widely read and fluent in several languages, knowledge
often acquired at night during his many years at sea. He chose to write
primarily in English following enthusiastic reception of his work from
English-speaking editors and readers.
