Bernd Jaeger was born in Kiel in 1948 and has lived in Bremen since 1977. In 1980 he received the Bremen Senate Prize for Literature. In 2006 his trilogy was published master human, a collection of poems, cycles and lyrical prose. He works as a freelance writer.
In his forthcoming volumeSonnenwind writes the Bremen poet Bernd Jaeger with a distancing (self-)irony about his everyday thoughts and prayers, with which he succeeds in making the readers laugh as well as make them think. In creative and political language, his poetry deals with life, faith and time. The book of poems is supplemented by the photo seriesWay to the Tree, in which the author photographs the path from his home to a beech tree, the tree of life.
