Welcome to a World of Language, Literature & Learning

The Center for the Art of Translation is committed to giving voice to great world writing by publishing fresh English translations alongside the original language text. We seek to promote world literature--with its power to move, inform, and inspire--and provide a window into the cultures that produce it.
We accomplish these goals through two primary programs:

Two Lines, an internationally acclaimed anthology of world literature translated into English

and

Poetry Inside Out, the only school program of its kind, offering kids the opportunity to write and translate poetry between two languages

You can order copies of all the Center's publications online.
