Maria C. Poets

Maria C. Poets, born in 1966, fled her small hometown in Northern Germany for the big city at age nineteen. After a stint as a university student, she spent many good and some bad years in the printing business. Since stumbling upon literary translation in 2006, she has translated more than forty books from English to German. Today Poets lives in the countryside of Northern Germany, where she indulges in her favorite activities: reading, writing, and dreaming.
