For the final workshop of the year, with Tracey Martin we translated two poems by Thai poet, Angkarn Chanchathip, including the title poem of 'The Heart's Fifth Chamber', the collection for which he was recently awarded the prestigious SEA Writers' Prize.

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

If you've not attended one of our workshops before, please read this before booking a place.

Workshop places are limited so advance booking is essential.
