“The translations simply would not exist without the PTC forging new links between poets and arranging translation workshops.
Chrissy Williams, Poetry London
The Poetry Translation Centre has translated, shared and celebrated international poets for over a decade. Our work introduces new poems and poets to English readers, expands the English poetic tradition, and opens windows onto the many cultures that live side by side in the UK.
