Jón úr Vör

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jón úr Vör (1917–2000) was an Icelandic poet. He has been credited, along with Steinn Steinarr, as being one of those who brought a modernist approach into Icelandic poetry. This was through the publication of his book of poems in 1946 entitled Þorpið (The Village).[1][2][3][4]
