Modern Poetry in Translation is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Founded by Ted Hughes and Daniel Weissbort, the magazine has played a unique role over the past fifty years in bringing the best in world poetry to English-language readers.
To mark this important birthday we are hosting two very special study days, at Pembroke College, Cambridge on 30 April and The Queen’s College, Oxford on 14 May.
Open to students and the general public, we’ll be celebrating and showcasing the history of the magazine through a series of workshops and readings. Join us for the opportunity to work with and hear from leading translators, poets and scholars.
Tickets include: two poetry translation workshops (max 15 participants) with leading translators and scholars, two afternoon poetry readings, a reception with readings to celebrate the launch of the new microsite for MPT No.1, lunch, tea and coffee and refreshments during the day
