Pär Hansson

Pär Hansson was born 1970 in Vännäs, Västerbotten County, in Northern Sweden. He has published five collections of poetry. His works have been included in anthologies and published in literary magazines in Sweden and abroad, with translations into English, Spanish, French, German, Slovakian, Bosnian and Estonian.
