The CSU Poetry Center invites submissions of book-length volumes of poetry in translation during an open reading period this winter. Please send 1) a cover letter describing the project and confirming any necessary permissions; and 2) a sample translation of at least 20 pages. Full manuscripts are welcome. Please email materials to associate director Hilary Plum at h.plum [at] csuohio [dot] edu. Our reading period will be open from December 1, 2020 through February 1, 2021. We expect to make decisions by early summer 2021.
Recent titles in our occasional series of poetry in translation include Mohammed Khaïr-Eddine’s Scorpionic Sun, translated by Conor Bracken, and I Burned at the Feast: Selected Poems of Arseny Tarkovsky, translated by Philip Metres and Dimitri Psurtsev.
