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.
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.
We took Karin Karakasli, Sarah Howe, Bejan Matur and Jen Hadfield, and of course, our wonderful bridge translator Canan Marasligil, to meet warm and enthusiastic audiences across England.
In the run up to our 2017 Summer Tour we dug up the pink paper programme for the Poetry Translation Centre’s very first event from 13 years ago: ‘An Evening of International Poetry’ at SOAS.
