Jan Skácel (7 February 1922 – 7 November 1989) was aCzechpoet, widely acclaimed as one of the best poets who had been writing inCzech.
Skácel was born inVnorovy on 7 February 1922.
He often juxtaposed the fear stoked by thecommunist regime inCzechoslovakia and the highly free syntax of Czech language. His poems are closely connected to the traditions and the nature of the region he lived in,South Moravia. His poems were mentioned in the bookIgnorance written byMilan Kundera.
Skácel was the editor ofHost do domu, an importantliterary magazine between 1963 and 1969. He was awarded the German international literaryPetrarca-Preis and Slovenian international Vilenica prize in1989.
When in 1996 she won the Georg-Büchner Prize for literature, the German poet Sarah Kirsch named Skácel as a major influence.[1]
Skácel died inBrno on 7 November 1989.
