Poet and writer Martin A. Hansen (born 1909 in Strøby Stevns) was one of the 20th century's most famous Danish writers, radio novel Liar of 1950 as the best known and most sold. Although he only had a short life (he died in 1955) he wrote numerous novels and stories, some of which takes place in his childhood country on Stevns.

Poet Route "poet and landscape - Martin A. Hansen Stevns" is based on the obvious view that literature must be brought out into the countryside, if there can be shown a link between place, life and writing. Stevns - not far from Copenhagen - has high natural values: the cliff which is now World Heritage and the river valley is Natura 2000 area. Two artists from their childhood associated with Stevns: artist Niels Larsen Stevns and author Martin A. Hansen.
