Since his debut in 1965 with Mellom speil og speil , for which he received the Tarjei Vesaas Debutant Prize, Jan Erik Vold has published over 20 volumes of his own poetry as well as numerous books and essays on colleagues from home and abroad. As a member of the so-called profile generation, he made a significant contribution to the democratization of the concept of poetry at the end of the 1960s. Disgusted by pompous pathos and an idle metaphor machine, he developed his own, casual Parlando , which processed the most heterogeneous influences (from Daoism to Beat poetry). Among other things, he also dealt with the Japanese haiku tradition. Vold's poems are designed for lecture. His CDs with music greats such as Jan Garbarek , Chet Baker , Red Mitchell , Bill Frisell and Egil Kapstad have made him a Scandinavian pioneer of jazz and poetry .

Vold translated Peter Bichsel , William Carlos Williams , Samuel Beckett , Bob Dylan , Frank O'Hara , Tomas Tranströmer , Richard Brautigan , Wallace Stevens and other authors into Norwegian.

In 2000 he was awarded the University of Oslo the honorary doctorate -Titel and 2018 Vold was awarded the prize of the Norwegian Academy Award.
