| Lennart Sjögren |
 |
Lennart Sjögren was born in the village of Böda on the Swedish
island of Öland in the Baltic and to this very day lives on the former
farm of his parents, down by the shore. During the 1950s, he studied for
a while at the Gothenburg Academy of Art, where he met his wife, the artist
Eva Forsberg, who has illustrated much of his work. In 1959, he made his
debut as a poet. Apart from poetry, Sjögren has also written short
stories. Although he has never regarded himself as a real artist, Sjögren
nevertheless has a typical painter’s eye. His poems are full of compact,
‘seen’ images.
