About

* 18.10.1971, Hamburg, Germany
lives in: Berlin, Germany

Jan Wagner was born in Hamburg in October 1971. He studied British and American Studies at the University of Hamburg and the Trinity College in Dublin, before moving to Berlin, where he still lives today.

In Berlin Wagner started out by working on the international “literature box” Die Aussenseite des Elementes. Since 1995 he had been issuing the box together with Thomas Girst and a changing editorial team, till, after the eleventh edition, the project had to be ended in 2003.

Since 2001, when his first collection of poems was released by the Berlin Verlag, Wagner has been working as a freelance poet, translator and literature critic. He writes regularly for the Frankfurter Rundschau as well as other newspapers, magazines and the radio. Wagner’s translations of authors such as f. e. Charles Simic, James Tate, Matthew Sweeney, Jo Shapcott, Simon Armitage and Robin Robertson have been published in magazines and anthologies. He himself has been translated into multiple languages.

As an editor Wagner published together with Björn Kuhligk the anthology Lyrik von Jetzt. 74 Stimmen, a comprehensive collection of young German poetry. A follow-up has been issued in 2008.
