Andreas Altmann (born in 1963 in Hainichen) is a poet living in Berlin. To date he has publish ten books of poetry, most recently Die lichten Lieder der Bäume liegen im Gras und scheinen nur so (2014) and Art der Betrachtung (2012) both from poetenladen Verlag. In 2016 a selection of his poems was published in the Poesiealbum series by Märkischer Verlag. Hans-Dieter Schütt wrote in Neues Deutschland of the collection that his texts seek out viewpoints on water, on land and below changing skies, flourishing with the strength of nature between distances and in shifting locations. Their most noticeable and touching feature is their total lack of cynicism. His prizes include the Christine Lavant Poetry Prize, the Erwin Strittmatter Prize and the Saxon Literature Prize.
