Tor Ulven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tor Ulven (b. Oslo 1953 - d. Oslo 1995) was a Norwegian poet. He is considered one of the major poets of the Norwegian post-war era, and he won several major literary prizes in Norwegian literature: the Dobloug prize in 1995, the Obstfelder prize in 1993 and the Hartvig Kirans prize in 1990. His early works, consisting of traditional modernist verse poetry, were heavily influenced by Breton and the surrealist movement. As the 80's progressed, he developed a more independent voice, both stylistically and thematically. The later part of his work consists mainly of prose. He committed suicide in 1995.
