Early life and education


Hamm was born in Munich in 1937. His mother died in 1940, and he grew up with her parents[1] in Weingarten, Oberschwaben,[2] and in several Catholic boarding schools.[1] He dropped out of school at age 14.[3] He worked on a farm and began as an apprentice to be a bookseller, but did not complete it.[1]


Career


His first published poems appeared in the literary magazine Akzente in 1954 when he was age 17[2] and in 1956 he was invited to read at the Gruppe 47. From 1959, he travelled to the GDR several times where he met authors such as Peter Huchel and Sarah Kirsch. He met Paul Celan in Paris.[1] He studied literature not at universities, but by means of direct communication with authors, including Nelly Sachs, with whom he corresponded.[1]

Hamm worked for the publisher Neske Verlag [de] from 1959 to 1960.[3] He then was a freelance writer and journalist, publishing literary and music criticism in Der Spiegel and Die Zeit, among others.[3] From 1964 to 2002, Hamm worked as Kulturredakteur (contributing editor for culture) for the Bayerischer Rundfunk.[1] He wrote several television documentaries, including portraits of Ingeborg Bachmann, Heinrich Böll, Peter Handke and Martin Walser.[2]

Hamm was a member of the Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung from 1991, serving as its vice president,[4] and of the Bayerische Akademie der Schönen Künste from 1996. He was a member of the German section of the Pen Zentrum. He was a jury member of the Petrarca-Preis, the Peter-Huchel-Preis and of the monthly Preis der SWR-Bestenliste, among others.[3] He belonged to the critics team of the monthly Literaturclub of the Schweizer Fernsehen from 1990 to 2014.[2] He received the Grimme-Preis in 1976 for Die verbotene Schönheit, a film about Hans Werner Henze.[4]
