The PTC was established to introduce new audiences to leading poets from around the world, and celebrate the diverse communities of the UK.
We publish award-winning books, organise poetry tours and deliver hands-on translation workshops that are open and inclusive to all. We offer free online resources including a popular dual-language poetry podcast and an extensive web archive of poems in translation. Our Undertow programme supports the development of young poets and translators, while the biennial Sarah Maguire Prize, first awarded in 2020, spotlights the very best books in the field of poetry translation.
