Abstract

Jan Erik VOLD (b. 1939) is a prominent literary and public figure of the Norwegian literary and cultural space of the 1960s. And he is “still at work. […] Because if I didn’t, there would be one voice missing”, as the poet himself stated in the introduction of the first Norwegian-Romanian bilingual anthology of poetry entitled Briskeby blues, published at Casa Cărții de Știință Publishing House, in 2023, with the financial support of Norwegian Literature Abroad (NORLA).
