Hendrik Jackson was born in 1971 in Düsseldorf and is a poet, essayist and translator, mainly from Russian, and an editor of the web portal lyrikkritik.de. He grew up in Münster and studied Film Science, Slavic Studies and Philosophy in Berlin, where he now lives. Together with other poets he organises the literary series Parlandopark, in which such writers as Marte Huke, Monika Rinck, Christian Filips and Steffen Popp perform. Hendrik Jackson has translated Marina Tsvetaeva‘s Poem of the End. New Year‘s Letter into German (edition per procura 2003). In 2005 he received the Wolfgang Weyrauch Promotion Prize, in 2006 the Hans Erich Nossack Promotion Prize and in 2008 the Friedrich Hölderlin Prize of the City of Bad Homburg vor der Höhe. His most recent collection of poems is Im Licht der Prophezeiungen (In the Light of the Prophecies), in which, as already in brausende bulgen, contemporary and Late-Mediaeval linguistic worlds blend into a higher unity.
