Life and work

Ann grew up in a Munich suburb, where she finished school with the Abitur in 1992. After that she studied German literature and American literature and Media law at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and trained as a Bookseller. After ten years of part-time work in a bookshop, which she used to build up her freelance business, she now works as a freelance translator and editor for literary and specialized texts. She started writing poems when she was still at elementary school; in her most intensive poetic period between 2000 and 2013 her poems were mainly based on her own life and observations combined with influences from music, film and literature.[2]

Since 2005 she has worked mainly as a translator from Slovenian and English. She translated numerous works and plays by Slovenian authors into German.[3] In November 2015 she published her first own poetry book titled Sonnenhonig (Sun honey) in the series 100 Gedichte (100 poems) of the publisher Martin Werhand Verlag.[4] Her second poetry book, titled Degravitation, was published one year later by the same publisher.[5] Apart from poems – the first were published in 2002 in the anthology series Junge Lyrik[6] (Young Poetry) by Martin Werhand Verlag[7] – she also published short prose, for example in the German literary magazine Dichtungsring.[8]
