Workshops

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 first introduced to us by a translator bringing their poems to a workshop.

The workshops are open to anyone who has the skills to translate the poetry of a leading living African, Asian or Latin American poet who's already established a significant reputation in their own language. You don't need to send us your translations before you join us.

The new series of fornightly translation workshops began in September 2010: you can read the 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. New workshop members are always very welcome!
