Biography
Biography
Growing up together with J. Gregoriussen in the town of Kvívík when V. Hammershaimb was parish priest there, he taught himself to read Faroese by borrowing books from Mr. Among the many poems he wrote, Jógvan also wrote traditional Faroese ballads, the most famous being "Kópakvæðið" (the ballad of the Selkie or seal woman) which consists of 68 verses. This ballad is based on a Faroese legend about seals coming ashore to dance in human appearance on 7 January, which locally is known as "old christmas" which was celebrated in accordance with the Gregorian calendar.
