Our poetry translation workshops are one of the PTC's core activities. Through them we've first encountered some of the poets we've gone on to translate, publish and record at length. A significant number of the poets who've visited the UK to take part in our tours were introduced to us by a translator bringing their poems to a workshop.
The new series of fornightly translation workshops began in September 2010: you can read the new translations we've produced by clicking on the individual workshops on the left.
Please sign up to join our workshop mailing list if you'd like to get involved. Workshops are open to anyone who can contribute translations of poetry by contemporary poets from Africa, Asia and Latin America and new workshop members are always very welcome!
