Timeline
Paal Brekke (17 September 1923 – 2 December 1993) was a Norwegian lyricist, novelist, translator of poetry, and literary critic.
Brekke fled from occupied Norway to Sweden in 1940, when he was 17 years old.
He made his literary debut in 1942, with the poetry collection Av din jord er vi til (From thy soil we exist).
He returned to Norway in 1945, and issued the collection Jeg gikk så lange veier (1945).
His first novel was På flukt (On the run, 1946).
Brekke has been called the father of modernism in Norway.
The novel På flukt (1946) is describing a failed attempt to reach England during the war.
Later collections are Skyggefektning (1949), and Løft min krone, vind fra intet (1957).
In the mid 1950s Brekke participated in the debate on lyrical form, and opposed André Bjerke and Arnulf Øverland in the so-called Glossolalia debate.
Brekke's contributions to modernist poetry in the 1960s are the collection Det skjeve smil i rosa (1965), poetry combined with political sarcasm, and Granatmannen kommer (poems and other texts, 1968).
The travel book En munnfull av Ganges (1962) is written after a visit to India in 1960, where Brekke was faced with poverty and hunger in the third world, and became aware of the underlying conflicts between rich and poor nations.
In the 1970s he issued Aftenen er stille (1972), for which he received the critics prize, Syng, ugle (1978), and ''Flimmer.
He was awarded the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature in 1972 for the poetry collection Aftenen er stille (Quiet is the evening).
He received the Dobloug Prize in 1981.
As a young refugee Brekke became familiar with modern Swedish poetry.
Late in his life he released the two collections Men barnet i meg spør (1992) and Ostinato (1994, posthumous).
Brekke was soon noticed for his orientation towards modern European poetry, both as poet and critic.
He asked for a renewal of Norwegian poetry, and spread knowledge of foreign literature through translations of English modernist writers like T.S.Eliot, and also Indian and Japanese poetry.
