Mission Statement
The Center for the Art of Translation is committed to giving voice to great world literature by publishing fresh English translations alongside the original language text--the writer's own words. Through literary and educational programs that support translation, we seek to promote world literature--with its power to move, inform, and inspire--and provide a window into the cultures that produce it.
Description
The Center for the Art of Translation is a non-profit organization that promotes international literature and translation through programs in the arts, education, and community outreach. The Center aims to bring writers and readers together, across borders and across the boundaries of language, to create an active and artistic global community. We accomplish these goals through two primary programs: TWO LINES, an internationally acclaimed journal 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.
