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.

Jan Oskar Hansen's genius is unlimited. He has incomparably excelled most of the contemporary poets. This is the work of  Hansen at his best. Only a few poets have such bold, such copious imagination. Hansen's poetry is miraculous for the depth of  his philosophic insight.  The rich and copious diction, innovative application of images and phrases, the structural capability and unique command over all the intricacies of feelings raise him quite immensely above his contemporaries. Jan Oskar Hansen is the king of  the unique poetic rhythm and style. (Dr. Santosh Kumar, Editor, Cyberwit.net)
