Bruno K. Öijer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruno Kenneth Öijer (born 1951 in Linköping, Sweden) is one of the most well-known contemporary Swedish poets. His first collection of poems was published in 1973. In 1999 he changed his middle name Kenneth to Keats.
Öijer is perhaps most appreciated as a stage performance poet, and he has made notable appearances in front of large audiences. In the 1970s he performed with the group Vesuvius, consisting of him, Eric Pauli Fylkesson and Per-Eric Söder.
One of his most well-known appearances was that in Stockholm on June 6, 2003, at the occasion of the national day concert by Kent.
The Swedish rock band Imperiet has interpreted Öijer's "Vykort".
