Hans B rli (1918-89) was born and lived in the wooded country of Hedmark in south eastern Norway.
B rli\'s verse is alive with his experiences of the Norwegian Forests - with the moods of sky and water, with the creatures that moved in air and woodland.
His days, however, were an enactment of his poetry.
His days seem to have been divided into two separate parts: by day, he lived the physically demanding life of a lumberjack, but by night, he turned poet and spent the still, dark hours writing.
