Life and work
Frank Findeiß was born in Trier (Rhineland-Palatinate) in 1971. After his abitur at the Staatliche Hilda-Gymnasium in Koblenz and his military service in the Heeresmusikkorps 300 he started studying philosophy, educational science and sociology at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. In summer 2001 he obtained the degree of a Magister Artium with a dissertation on Karl Marx. After several internships and working as freelance contributor for a radio station as well as for the online magazine bumbanet.de he started training as a specialized journalist at Freie Journalistenschule in Berlin in 2008, which he successfully completed in 2010.
While studying in Bonn, and during his work after that, he has devoted himself to creative writing since the middle of the 1990s. At the beginning of the 2000s he started standing out in publications, so that he has so far featured in numerous poetry anthologies, among them the series Junge Lyrik by Martin Werhand Verlag. His poetry was also recognized in projects that got supra-regional attention, such as the event Poesie bewegt in 2006/2007, organized by the Bremer Verkehrsbetriebe and the foundation Apollon-Stiftung with the art directors Renato Mismetti and Joachim Tuz, and the event Lesezeichen 2014, organized by the Förderverein Forum-Literaturbüro e. V. in Hildesheim. In April 2015 his first own poetry book Sozialisolation was published in the series 100 Gedichte by Martin Werhand Verlag. His second poetry book was published one year later with the title Blutonium in the series 100 Gedichte by the same publisher. His works deal mainly with political and socio-critical topics.
Frank Findeiß works as freelance music teacher in Bad Godesberg.
