Ragnar Jändel

Ragnar Jändel (13 April 1895, Blekinge – 6 May 1939, Ronneby) was a Swedish poet and writer.

[1] He was of proletarian origin and one of the Swedish labor poets.

[2] His autobiographical writing Childhood paints a bleak picture of working-class family life.

[3] Partly because of a religious tone in his lyrics, he was expelled from the newspapers Brand and Stormklockan by more dogmatic left-wing socialists.

One of his poems from this period was proposed by Fabian Månsson for inclusion in the 1937 hymnal.
