Biography

Öijer was born in Linköping in 1951. His first collection of poems, Sång för anarkismen (lit. Song for Anarchism) was published in 1973.^[1]

Öijer is perhaps most appreciated as a stage performance poet, and he has made notable appearances in front of large audiences.^[2] During the 1970s, he was a part of poetry group Vesuvius.^[1]

In 1986, Öijer, along with Bryn Settels, released the LP shade coming. He has on several occasions collaborated with the Pork Quartet, which played with him, among other things, when performing "Sketches for one of the speech of death" on television. On June 6, 2003, he performed in conjunction with the group Kent's concert at Stockholm Stadium. Öijer's poems have also been toned by several Swedish composers. These include Molly Kien, Håkan Larsson, Martin B Svensson, Tomas Winter, Hans Ek, Henrik Strindberg, Ylva Skog, Joakim Sandgren and Kim Hedås.^[3]

One of his appearances was that in Stockholm on June 6, 2003, at the occasion of the national day concert by Kent.
