Onkel Hva was born in a mud hut in Teveldal, Norway in 1948. His parents were illiterate potato farmers, and little Hva had to teach himself to read & write.
At the age of seven he was sent away to school in Meråker, where he was profoundly shocked to find actual paper and honest to God books.
That was, however the only good thing to be said of his years at the School. Hva ended up a bitter loner. And he has been like that ever since.
He found his voice in poetry quite early on, writing melancholy and bile-filled poems about loneliness & solitude & women's naughty bits.
In 1966 he managed to publish a book of selected poetry with the now-defunct publishing house TrønderPoesi. It was called Refleksjoner Over Blind Høne.
Since then, things have been rather silent around Onkel Hva, but he recently (in 1982) met what would become his manly muse, Onkel Ugle (born in a marsh outside of Oslo in 1949). They are now working on their magnum opus, Bus-Tour Rhymes.
