F. P. Jac
Template:Short description F. P. Jac (11 November 1955 – 25 December 2008[1]), born Flemming Palle Jacobsen,Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".[2] was a Danish poet.[3]
His first publication was the poetry collection Spontane kalender-blade (Spontaneous Calendar-sheets) from 1976.[4] Even if his production is much "lighter" in tone than his peers of that day, he is counted as belonging to the so-called eighties-generation of poets. He published more than fifty collections of poetry, a few of them in cooperation with some other Danish poets, namely Asger Schnack and Klaus Høeck. His latest work while alive was Søvnlysninger, (Sleeplightings), 2007.[5]
Jac often utilised autobiographical material in his writing, generously twisting everything to an innovative, kind-hearted, humorous and above all distinct voice. Approaching everyday life with a defiant ability to find beauty and oddness he coined many new words describing feelings and situations previously unaccounted for in Danish. This gave him a reputation for being an eccentric with a slanted and highly personal use of language, but also brought him much acclaim among peers and a large fan base. In 2008, 1 month before his death, he was thus awarded the grand prize of the Academy for the Arts for his life achievement in regards to kindling the Danish language.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
