Evanescent memories

A.B. Andersson (b. 1877- d. 1961 in Barva, Sweden) worked as a farmer during his entire life. In fact, however, August did not tend to the farm himself; the work in the fields was primarily done by his sons.

The enterprises for which A.B. Andersson himself would be most remembered for in particular was of a municipal, but also a religious, nature. He was a man of the labor movement and the temperance movement.



Moreover, he was a great poet and bard, and wrote many poems in his life.These poems was never published during his lifetime.

Now - more than fifty years after his death - his poems comes out in print for the first time.





A.B. Andersson var lantbrukare till yrket, men drev gården tillsammans med sin familj. Själv satt han också som medlem i Barva Blåbandsförening, Nykterhetsnämnden, Folkpartiet och i kyrknämnden. En av hans stora passioner var lyrik och prosa, och många av hans sysslor skulle komma att dyka upp som teman i egna dikter.
A.B Andersson dog den 3 januari 1961 utan att ha fått några av sina dikter utgivna.
