 Poets' A-Z » Arne Ruste

Arne Ruste was born in 1942 in Gudbrandsdalen. One of the most prominent contemporary Norwegian poets, he has worked in publishing and as editor of Poesi Magasin. Since his debut in 1973, he has published five collections of poetry, including Indre Krets ('Inner Circle'), which was awarded the prestigious Norwegian Poetryclub-prize on its publication in 1999.

Ruste is also known for his translations, notably of Ted Hughes’s Crow and Birthday Letters. Among his other translations are versions of Roald Dahl’s Dirty Beasts and Rhyme Stew, and The Little Zen Companion by David Schiller. Together with Michael Konupek, he published the Norwegian translation of poetry by Ivan Diviš in 2000. Arne Ruste lives in Son, a small fishing village in the neighbourhood of Oslo.
