Andreas Gripp

Andreas Gripp (born 1964) is a Canadian poet.

Born in London, Ontario, he entered the literary field as editor and publisher of Afterthoughts, a poetry journal that existed from 1994 to 2000. His first chapbook appeared in 1999 and his first full-length collection in 2001. His early work was often prose-laden and focused on social issues as well as the lives of marginalized, fictional characters. His later releases, including 2007's Angel Clare, 2008's Beads on Blossoms, and 2009's The Lesser Light, focused on personal relationships and human interraction with nature, many of the poems written in a metered narrative. His work has also appeared in several anthologies and literary periodicals, including Only the Sea Keeps, Van Gogh's Ear, Ascent Aspirations, Carousel, Canadian Zen Haiku, and The Literary Review of Canada. He was a long standing member of the London Chapter of the Canadian Poetry Association.
