Ragnar Jändel (13 April 1895, Blekinge – 6 May 1939, Ronneby) was a Swedish poet and writer.[1] He was of proletarian origin and one of the Swedish labor poets.[2] His autobiographical writing Childhood paints a bleak picture of working-class family life.[3] Partly because of a religious tone in his lyrics, he was expelled from the newspapers Brand and Stormklockan by more dogmatic left-wing socialists. One of his poems from this period was proposed by Fabian Månsson for inclusion in the 1937 hymnal.[4]
