Gunvor Hofmo

Gunvor Hofmo was born on 30 June 1921 in Oslo and grew up in the Ila district, in a socialist and anti-Nazi working-class family. During the war she became close to Ruth Maier, a young Jewish refugee, deported from Oslo in 1942 and killed at Auschwitz. Long psychological crises led her to Gaustad hospital, and she stopped publishing for sixteen years before returning to poetry in the early 1970s. She died in Oslo in 1995.
