Anton G. Leitner (born June 16, 1961 in Munich, Germany) is a German writer and publisher. He has also gained a widespread reputation as an editor, reciter, and organizer of literary events. Between 1980 and 2013, Leitner edited over 30 anthologies for major publishers in the German language, such as Artemis & Winkler, dtv, dtv/Hanser, Goldmann, and Reclam. He is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of the poetry magazine DAS GEDICHT, which has been published annually since 1993. Although he specializes on poetry, Leitner is also the author of short stories, essays, as well as literary critique and reviews. Additionally, he has published children's books and audiobooks. He has been instrumental in raising public awareness for the art form since the early 80s and has concentrated his efforts on fostering a broad environment for poetry that crosses cultural and intergenerational boundaries. In doing so, he has not shied away from controversy and critical public debate on the role of poetry within society. ==Life== After graduating in 1981 from the Wittelsbacher-Gymnasium in Munich (a secondary school with a strong humanistic tradition), he studied law and philosophy from 1982-1988 at the Ludwig Maximilian's University Munich.〔Tageblatt. Die Zeitung für Luxemburger, ''Wir sind Irrfahrer. Anton G. Leitner über die Macht der Poesie,'' 22.08.2006.〕 Having attained his bar examination in 1989, he completed his legal clerkship at the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court) Munich from 1990-1993. Since 1993, he lives and works professionally as an author, critic, editor, and publisher in Weßling (County of Starnberg), because "he prefers dealing with poems rather than sitting around at courts."〔Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, ''Die Solidarität der Neugierigen,'' 8.08.2001.〕 Early on, as a high school student, Leitner published, parallel to his childhood friend Helmut Krausser, private prints, which already indicated a remarkable talent in the realization of editorial and publishing projects, as his early books Füllhorn and Nachböen (1980/1981) show. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anton G.
