Jan Skácel (7 February 1922 – 7 November 1989) was a Czech poet of Moravian origin, widely acclaimed as one of the best poets who had been writing in Czech.
Skácel was born in Vnorovy in 1922.
He often juxtaposed the fear stoked by the communist regime in Czechoslovakia and the highly free syntax of Czech language. His poems are closely connected to the traditions and the nature of the region he lived in, Southern Moravia.
