Ron Winkler (c) gezett

Ron Winkler (born in Jena in 1973) is a poet and translator and has edited many anthologies. He co-founded the magazine intendenzen and is an editor of the online magazines satt.org and Lyrik.log. In his poems he deconstructs apparently idyllic landscapes with the language of the natural sciences, allowing dry terms to enter into combinations with intimate sensuality. He was awarded the 2005 Leonce and Lena Prize and the 2006 Mondseer Poetry Prize, and, more recently, the 2015 Munich Poetry Prize and the 2016 Basle Poetry Prize.
