Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Daniel Andersson was a Swedish author, poet, and composer. He sometimes used the pen name Black Jim. Although he is counted among the Swedish proletarian authors, his works are not limited to that genre. His poems are among the most popular in Swedish literature; they have been set to music by more composers than any other 20th century Swedish poet.
