Three exciting poetry collections from the PTC this year: Real by Karin Karakaşlı (tr. Canan Marasligil and Sarah Howe), The Thorn of Your Name by Víctor Terán (tr. Shook), and Translation of the Route by Laura Wittner (tr. Juana Adcock).
Throughout 2024, the Poetry Translation Centre is celebrating its 20th birthday with a jam-packed programme of events, workshops, publications and prizes.
The PTC is launching our World Poet Series, a new series of pocket-sized bilingual books, with the English and original-language text displayed side by side.
We are thrilled to announce that The Sea-Migrations by Asha Lul Mohamud Yusuf translated from Somali by Clare Pollard has been named the Poetry Book of the Year by The Sunday Times.
Canan Marasligil talks about being a bridge translator for Karin Karakaşlı and Bejan Matur, the poets on the PTC 2017 Summer Tour, translating feelings, context and politics a well as words.
