Hendrik Rost was born in 1969 in Burgsteinfurt, Westphalia. After a stint in the US he read German and philosophy in Kiel and Düsseldorf. His poems have been published in numerous anthologies and journals, such as Jahrbuch der Lyrik 2001/2002, neue deutsche literatur, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Schraffur der Welt. Junge Schriftsteller über das Schreiben and Sprache im technischen Zeitalter.

He has been awarded the Düsseldorfer Lyrikpreis (1996), the Förderpreis für Literatur der Stadt Hamburg (1998), the Brentano-Preis of the City of Heidelberg (1999) and the Wolfgang-Weyrauch-Preis zum Literarischen März (2001). The Darmstädter Jury des Literarischen März praised the clear imagery of a “sober and cerebral poetry”, giving, “with formal economy”, expression to “everyday situations as well as scientific-philosophical matters”.

In addition to these awards Hendrik Rost received a stipend from the Akademie Schloß Solitude and, in summer 2001, a bursary from Literarisches Colloquium, Berlin. He was awarded with the 'Dresdner Lyrikpreis' (2002 ) the 'GWK-Förderpreis für Literatur' (2003), and the 'Förderpreis des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen für Literatur' (2004).

His collections of poetry are vorläufige gegenwart (1995), FliegendeSchatten (1999), Aerobic und Gegenliebe (2001),Im Atemweg des Passagiers (2006) and Der Pilot in der Liebe (2010)

Today, Hendrik Rost lives in Hamburg.
