Jan Oskar Hansen is a Norwegian who has spent most of his life at sea.  In the 1990s he settled down in Portugal. He is fluent in many languages, but writes mainly in English because his most ardent fans know English.Hansen shows a genuine love and respect for all things living. He writes in the first person, conveying the sense that what he writes is autobiographical. In the extremely brief little vignettes – which cannot be encumbered with the definition of ‘short story’ – he gives a precise, objective and telling description of a person (  ‘Not under a Banyan tree’), or a situation (  ‘The Date’), or a political situation  (‘Islamisation of our Europe’). Or even of a place (‘The Emerald Isle’, ‘Limelight’).

Binding: Paperback
ISBN: 978-81-8253-231-1
Publisher: Cyberwit.net
Pub. Date: 2011
Price: INR 200










About the book:




Words arranged in a sequence never creates a poem- never can the creator of it can be dubbed as a poet. You need to forgo- that singular passion and get that run through your sinews- fill up the inking space of the pen you are holding and then draw out feelings in that piece of paper lying in front of you expectantly. D Everett’s poetry and his other dribbling coming together in between the folds of “Captured Moments tall tales and Poems”.- fall under this category.

About the book :

From a writer to a poet- how would you describe the transition? There stands no explanation if the writer is picking up strands of self consciousness and building up a run-about verse style simply to appeal the young generation.
