'''Vilhelm Ekelund''' (October 14, 1880 – September 3, 1949) was a Swedish [[poet]].
He was nominated for the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]] three times.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show_people.php?id=2739 |title=Nomination Database|website=www.nobelprize.org|access-date=2017-04-19}}</ref>
==Career==
The works of Ekelund were influenced by [[Friedrich Hölderlin]], [[Friedrich Nietzsche]], and [[Emanuel Swedenborg]]. His early career was lyrical, and though not widely recognized at the time, his poetic work, almost wholly produced in the first decade of the century, became a formative influence on many later Swedish poets. His grasp of rhythmic and musical qualities in verse and his concentrated imagery propelled his poetry into increasingly ambitious forms, soon moving from bound to free verse, and making it a vital model for later writers such as [[Karin Boye]], [[Erik Lindegren]], [[Gunnar Björling]] and others.
