Andreas Gripp (born 1964) is a Canadian poet and the author of 21 books of poetry and 16 chapbooks. 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 2009's ''The Lesser Light'' and 2010's ''The Fall'', centered on personal relationships and human interraction with nature, many of the poems written in a metered narrative. His more recent poetry collections, ''The Apostasy of Daylight'' (2012) and ''The Breakfast of Birds'' (2013), dealt with themes of love, spirituality, and the natural world. An 18th full-length collection, ''The Better Kiss'', was released in the Spring of 2014. He followed that up in 2015 with ''Holy Rollers'' and ''Apocrypha: Poems Selected & New Volume 3'', his 19th and 20th books. A comprehensive collection of both his older and more recent verse appears in his 21st release, the 2015 compilation, ''Selected Poems 2000-2015''. His work has also been published in several anthologies and literary periodicals, including ''Arborealis: A Canadian Anthology of Poetry (Volumes 1 and 2)'', ''Only the Sea Keeps: Poetry of the Tsunami'', ''Van Gogh's Ear'', ''Ascent Aspirations'', ''Myth Weavers: Canadian Myths and Legends'', ''Carousel'', ''The Toronto Quarterly'', ''The Prairie Journal'', ''Canadian Zen Haiku'', ''Literary Review of Canada'', ''Possessions: The Eldon House Poems'', ''Descant'', ''Tower Poetry'', ''Pigeonbike: Semi Permanent Death'', ''Goodbye Billie Jean: The Meaning of Michael Jackson'', ''Under the Mullberry Tree: Poems For & About Raymond Souster'', ''Window Fishing: the night we caught Beatlemania'', ''Quern: An Anthology of Contemporary Poets'', and ''Moon Shine: A Canadian Poetry Collection''. His first collection of selected verse, ''Anathema: Poems Selected & New'', was shortlisted for the 2010 Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry.
