Sonja Åkesson (19 April 1926 Buttle, Gotland– 5 May 1977) was a Swedish poet, writer, and artist. Sonja Åkesson first discovered her talent for writing at 28 after moving to Stockholm, after her divorce from Nils Westberg, a carpenter. They had two children at the time of the divorce and Sonja was expecting a baby (not her husband’s). The baby died from leukemia at the age of two. In 1956, Sonja married Bo Holmberg and had her fourth child, Mikael. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Sonja+%C3%
