Mgr. Martin Poch

Teacher of Humanities and basketball, poet

martin.poch@itgymnazium.cz

I graduated from the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, with a combined degree in aesthetics and comparative literary studies. For more than a decade I have been designing content of didactic and training materials.

I have been involved in the development and implementation of online courses, LMS and educational applications for a wide range of organizations (museums, non-profits, companies and schools). 

I also worked as an editor of Vědavýzkum.cz, where I focused on domestic and international science policy from the perspective of the humanities. I occasionally publish essays and reviews in literary journals

With my poetry collection Jindřich Jerusalem I was nominated for the Jiří Orten Award (2014). Other texts were awarded in the Básne SK/CZ competition (2020) or the Dresdner Lyrikpreis (2022). I have published 6 books

of poetry so far. My poems have appeared in several foreign platforms, some of them are represented in the anthology The Best Czech Poems (Host, 2013, 2019).

I live in Prague, but my spirit is more present in a small town the size of Satalice. And I still play basketball!​
