Hans Thill (born in Baden-Baden in 1954) is a poet, co-founder of the Wunderhorn Verlag publishing firm and director of the Edenkoben Artists’ House. He initiated the Poesie der Nachbarn (Poetry of the Neighbours) translation workshop and has himself translated such writers as Guillaume Apollinaire, Yvan Goll, Abdelwahab Meddeb and Assia Djebar from French. He has edited several anthologies of contemporary German-language poetry with Michael Braun, and, with Gregor Laschen, anthologies of English, Russian, Swiss and Ukrainian poetry. His poems play with multiple meanings and associations, are linguistically playful and surrealistic. In 2004 Hans Thill received the Peter Huchel Prize. He was awarded the Lectureship in Poetics at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 2012 and at the University of Mainz in 2013.
