Nadja Küchenmeister (born 18 April 1981 in East-Berlin)[1][2] is a German poet and writer.
[3] She has published poems and prose in numerous literary magazines and anthologies.
In collaboration with its permanent editor Matthias Kniep, she was the co-editor of the German "Jahrbuch der Lyrik" (Poetry Yearbook) in 2022.
[5] According to reviewer Thomas Steinfeld, Nadja Küchenmeister draws in her poetry collection Im Glasberg (In the Glass Mountain) on literary traditions such as fairy tales, whereby her verses show a great confidence not only in the poetic expression but also in an everyday world as a reservoir of poetic transformation.
In her dialogic poetry, Steinfeld encounters something "childlike" such as may also occur in adults when reading fairy tales, insofar as there is no sharp distinction between the self and the work, between reception and creation.
