“Translation brings cultures together and is a source of dialogue, which is why, particularly today, the work of the Center for the Art of Translation is invaluable.”

—Jazmina Barrera, author of The Queen of Swords, Linea Nigra, and On Lighthouses

“The Center for the Art of Translation has supported me in more ways than I can count. Some of my earliest translations appeared in the pages of Two Lines journal, I contributed to the first volume in their marvelous Calico anthology series, and I have a short story collection, Beijing Sprawl, with the press. Each of these collaborations has been joyous, with thoughtful editing and real care in the way each of these publications was brought together. CAT’s determination to center literary translation as an art has led to a stream of vivid, bold translations, some of which may not otherwise have found a home, broadening the possibilities of the form and daring translators to be intrepid in their craft.”

—Jeremy Tiang, translator and Day of Translation keynote speaker

“There isn’t another institution in the country where people are making sure that we’re hearing the translation of the whole world of poetry.”

—Robert Hass, Former U.S. Poet Laureate and translator
